Illustrated mountain country around Coldwater Pass

Arizona Territory · circa 1882

Beyond the last storefront.

The roads turn north into granite and pine, east toward the homesteads, and outward into country that the town can never entirely govern.

A world beyond the town

Land shapes every story.

Redstone Crossing sits at the meeting point of its people and the country around them. The nearby roads, ranches, creek crossings, and mountain pass matter to daily life as much as the buildings along Front Street.

Our illustrated guide follows the geography established in Coldwater Pass. Additional regions will be added as new books make their locations public; illustrations alone do not create new facts about the territory.

Three places to begin

The country around Redstone.

Follow the road, trace a family's home, or return to town. Each location is an entrance to the larger Lovett Western world.

The Lovett Homestead

East of town, the Lovett household anchors Jesse and Levi’s family history. The precise appearance of the buildings remains an artistic interpretation.

The geography of a story

Not every road is on a map.

The photographs and illustrations suggest the rugged setting, but they are not surveys. The exact courses of trails, waterways, and property boundaries must remain consistent with the books and private continuity records.

We will make the geographic atlas interactive when the author has approved a reliable map, rather than supplying invented coordinates.
