Treasure Maps can be one of the best ways to farm for Gold Bars in Red Dead Online, and as you unlock new maps, you’re going to want to complete them. Most of the Treasure Maps you come across will feature multiple areas where the actual treasure can be located. To make these maps easier to complete, we’ve started putting together guides to all the treasure locations for each map. This time around, we’re going to be focusing on the East Watsons Treasure Map, and all the treasure locations associated with it.

As we stated above, there are usually multiple locations that a map’s treasure can be found at. To make finding these locations easier, we’ve included several images including pictures of the in-game map, as well as images of the overall area where the treasure can spawn for the East Watsons Treasure Map.

To find the East Watsons Treasure Map’s general location, head west of Wallace Station, to the wilderness area above the Little Creek River. There are four potential locations for the East Watsons Treasure Map to spawn its reward within this area. Looking for more treasure maps?

The first East Wastons treasure location can be found in a large tree trunk in this area of the map.

From the Stranger Mission, head down the road and then veer off to the left, into the trees. Here you’ll be able to spot a large tree trunk with an alcove at the bottom. If the treasure spawns here, the chest will be within the tree trunk.
