ghostsoap01 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 If I had to guess I'd say: - Ambarino - Appalachian mountains - New Hanover - I have no clue, central or east Texas - Eastern part of New Hanover - The Carolinas or Virginias - West Lemoyne - Kentucky (because of Hatfields and Mccoys) - East Lemoyne - unmistakably Louisianna - West Elizabeth - West Texas - New Austin - Arizona and New Mexico What do you think? naanbread, ballstorture, saintsrow and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyb584 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I'd say that's about as close as anyone else could get, I've been wondering that myself. I never knew the USA was small enough that I could run across it in a few hours! Wonder if New Hanover or West Elizabeth are real areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Light Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 The plantations and mansions in Lemoyne give me some South Carolina vibes. New Austin (at least near Hennigin's Stead) is 100% based on Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silly_nate Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I like to think it’s New Austin - Texas Southern West Elizabeth - Oklahoma Northern West Elizabeth - New Mexico (Ruidoso area) Ambarino - Colorado Lemoyne - Louisiana West New Hanover - Nebraska East New Hanover - Virginia ColCrookshanks, Gangsta Braze, SinisterRaccoon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray-Hand Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 My American geography isn’t all that great, but: Could West Elizabeth be West Virginia (named after the virgin queen Elizabeth I)?

ghostsoap01 Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hennigan's Stead is definitely Texas, but I think Cholla Springs, Rio Bravo and Gaptooth Ridge must be like Nevada / Arizona / New Mexico (unless there is a desert in Texas, I don't know if there is or not). I don't think West Elizabeth is West Virginia, I really see more of that "hilbilly" type thing (sorry if I offend anyone) with West Virginia / the Carolinas; and thats the vibe I see more in Murfree Country / Eastern New Hanover, not quite West Elizabeth. I think that map pretty much hits the nail on the head. saintsrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turan Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 One of the characters in the game was talking about Ohio, so maybe there are some real states in the RDR universe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

éX-Driver Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 The hints are frequently in the names. Amberino is definitely based on Colorado and Wyoming. ‘Amberino’ is the Spanish name for the colour amber, whilst ‘colorado’ is the Spanish name for the colour ruddy red. New Hanover is based primarily on Nebraska with a little bit of South Dakota. Most of the midwest [especially states like Nebraska] had a large amount of German immigration. There’s even a nature preserve in Nebraska named ‘Valentine’. Lemoyne is inarguably Louisiana, with hints of Mississippi. I shouldn’t have to explain the reasoning behind that. for the Redemption 1 map, West Elizabeth is mostly Kansas with hints of Colorado. New Austin is Texas with some New Mexico and Arizona and a little southern California as well. Duxfever, Crawsack, wagszilla and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California is mentioned too, and there is Kentucky bourbon and tge Tennessee walker horse. New York gets mentioned several times. The repeated references to California and New York rather than San Andreas and Liberty City suggests the RDR games are set in a different universe to the GTA games.

volta2001 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) To me Van Horn is clearly a port town in Massachusetts, something like Gloucester. the coast is shaped exactly Mass. From there north (Roanoke Ridge) is Maine, with the moose and such; its shaped like it as well. It might not fit the story or world but i believe those were the influence. looking at it more the map really is the USA. If we say the Florida peninsula is removed and combined with Lemoyne, Rhodes region Alabama/Georgia, Flat Iron Lake is the Gulf of Mexico. Even Grizzlies East has some New Hampshire White Mountains influence, especially with the face in the mountain; and its right next to Roanoke Ridge (Maine) Edited November 3, 2018 by volta2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they have a Ridge Province ( mining area) and Roanoke is located at Blue Ridge Mountains . Rockstar is definitely using multiple states as inspiration but for some reason I am pretty sure Virginia is one of those states. volta2001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodSense129 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Ambarino = (West Grizzlies/Rocky Mountains/Colorado & East Grizzlies are basically the Appalachians New Hanover = (Heartlands is basically Nebraska all the way down to Arkansas in a nutshell like the real life Heartland region while Roanoke Ridge is Mississippi (Van Horn is based off a real life town in Mississippi not sure about annesburg) Lemoyne = Louisiana Obviously West Elizabeth = (Oklahoma , Kansas, central to southern Colorado) New Austin = (southern Kansas , Texas , Arizona in a nutshell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boozey St John Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Christ, was I off! I always thought Ambarino was Colorado and the Grizzlies were the Rockies. I thought West Elizabeth was maybe Kansas. New Hanover i thought was Nebraska or Arkansas. Either way, it's such a beautiful world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadman2112 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) I always saw the new parts of the map as the states that are along the Mississippi, but the Serpent Mound is in Ohio in real life so I guess that doesn't really fit. Obviously with the old part of the map as Texas/New Mexico areas... Edited February 14, 2019 by Deadman2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't know, but I guess if it does than its possible that Lemoyne is completely based on Louisiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
