Red Dead Redemption 2: Unique Locations and Small Side Quests Walkthrough with Maps

If you\’re looking to earn extra money in Red Dead Redemption 2, this guide is for you. We\’ll show you three unmarked locations with small quests that you can visit for additional work. These locations include Castor\’s Ridge, Appleseed Timber, and Central Union Railroad.

Throughout the game, Arthur will come across these locations and can visit them in later chapters to follow their progress. You can also receive small missions from the NPCs in the area.

It\’s recommended to visit these locations for the first time in chapter 2 to ensure you don\’t miss any progress made in any of them.

• Castor\’s Ridge (near Valentine)
• Appleseed Timber (near Strawberry)
• Central Union Railroad (near Van Horn Trading Post and Emerald Ranch)

Castor\’s Ridge (near Valentine)

Castor\’s Ridge is a house under construction located a short distance south of Valentine.

1. During your first visit, you\’ll meet the man building the house with his sons, but you won\’t receive any additional tasks. You\’ll only watch a short cut-scene and learn about the construction progress.
2. During the second visit, the family members will exchange fire with bandits. You can help them eliminate all the thugs, which will improve Arthur\’s reputation.
3. During the next visit, a large part of the wooden structure will already have been erected. However, the head of the family will explain that there isn\’t enough money to complete the construction. You can show some generosity and donate $100 to the man (you\’ll also earn some positive honor points).
4. During another visit, you\’ll find out that the family decided to sell the house to farmers. The man will reimburse Arthur a hundred dollars and add another 50 dollars from himself. After progressing to the first part of the game epilogue, new residents will appear on this farm.

Appleseed Timber (near Strawberry)

Appleseed Timber refers to a fragment of the forest where the felling of trees is carried out. The lumberjack camp is located northeast of Strawberry, next to Monto\’s Rest.

1. When you first visit the lumberjack camp, speak to the foreman who is interested in purchasing supplies from Arthur. You can sell food and medicine for better prices than those offered by town vendors.


2. During a subsequent visit to the logging site, you will witness an accident where a tree falls on one of the lumberjacks. Help free the lumberjack and gain positive honor points. The injured person will thank you and reward Arthur with a few dollars.


3. During your next visit to the lumberjack camp, witness a quarrel between the foreman and his subordinates. They are afraid of wolves roaming the area. Offer to help by using Eagle Eye to track down the wolves. Kill the wolves and report back to the foreman. Logging will be completed in the sixth chapter of the game.

Central Union Railroad (near Van Horn Trading Post and Emerald Ranch)

This location is a railroad construction site west of Van Horn Trading Post and east of Emerald Ranch in New Hanover.

1. The foreman suspects one of his subordinates is stealing money. Follow the designated character and let them reach the hiding place in a large tree before approaching. You can let the man go or catch and tie him up. Return the stolen money to the foreman or keep it for yourself.


2. During one of your next visits, learn about problems with Cornwall who bought surrounding land. Kill their leader in a revolver duel and retrieve a property deed. Return the deed to the foreman.


3. For the remainder of the game, the camp will move north-west. Arthur can obtain valuable supplies from the foreman, but does not have to carry out any missions. The construction of the track will end in the first part of the game epilogue.
