Trivia
- โThis region's properties of being a hot desert, having an abundance of Joshua trees and numerous rugged rock formations make Gaptooth Ridge resemble real-life Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California and other areas throughout Southern California and Nevada, such as the Mojave Desert.
- โThe westernmost mountains in the regions resemble the Granite Mountains , also located in Southern California.
- โIt is possible that "Gaptooth Ridge" may also be called "Gaptooth Desert", as the first treasure map the player can find in Red Dead Online, addresses it as Gaptooth Desert.
- โ"Gaptooth" may be a reference to the dental hygiene of the miners who inhabit the region. Many can be seen having "gaps" where they are missing a tooth or two.
- โAlternately, it could refer to the western ridgeline between Gaptooth Breach and the Sea of Coronado, as it somewhat resembles a gumline with missing teeth
- โThis is more clearly seen when looking at it from the border of Cholla Springs.
- โIn Red Dead Redemption, Benedict Point is located in Gaptooth Ridge. In Red Dead Redemption 2, it is in Rรญo Bravo instead.
