West Elizabeth

State of Opportunity

Whether you're hunting bison on the Great Plains, taking in the views of Big Valley, or braving the sinister region of Tall Trees, West Elizabeth is rich and full of opportunity. The tall trees are also known to be the perfect location of any moonshiner to conduct their business in secret as the forest is vast and it is easy to hide away. Because of this The Pinkertons have become inscreasingly active in this area, however that doesn't stop certain gangs like The O'Drisscol Boys and The Skinner Brothers from fighting over control of the area.   The state of West Elizabeth is located in the west part of the map. It is composed of three constituent regions: Tall Trees, Great Plains, and Big Valley. In 1899 and 1907, it is preceded by Saint Denis in Lemoyne as a place of modernity. Regardless, it's still the modernized town in the West. Blackwater during this time is a port town going under the process of industrialization judging from the newly constructed structures sprouting within the town. As such, there is no built railway that passes Blackwater going to New Austin. Pacific Union Railroad Camp didn't exist at that time.   In 1911 and 1914, West Elizabeth is characterized as being the most modern and industrialized settlement in the West, the thriving port town of Blackwater, which also serves as the state's capital. The state is distinguished from others due to its uniformed police force, cobbled roads, and named streets.   There are two major settlements in West Elizabeth: Blackwater and Strawberry. There are also camps, ranches, and homesteads that dot within the territory.   West Elizabeth is bordered by New Austin to the south, which its border is established by the Lower Montana River. The river empties through Thieves' Landing, then to the San Luis River. In the north, it is bordered by the Upper Montana River in the original game but currently bordered by Grizzlies West. Big Valley is bordered by The Heartlands, in New Hanover, to the east, in which its natural border is the Dakota River. Eastwards, Flat Iron Lake borders the rest of the territorial limits. The landscape progresses from rolling grasslands in the Great Plains region through snow-capped, impassable mountains around the edges of Tall Trees. To the north lies Big Valley, which falls under the foot of Mount Shann. The resemblance of Tall Trees persists northwards until near the vicinity of Strawberry where the elevation gets higher. The area is mountainous and slightly forested with patches of meadows surrounding the base of the mountain.
