Red County
Red County, part of the Badlands is a vast area located just outside of Los Santos in the State of San Andreas. It is the only county which separates all three cities from each other, neighbouring Whetstone, Flint County and Bone County (adjacent though across the water). The area itself comprises towards the centre of the map, arguably slightly towards the north. The county features an extraordinary landscape while consisting of four small country towns: Palomino Creek, Montgomery, Blueberry and Dillimore. In contrast to the dangerous streets of Los Santos, Red County bears a surprising number of country folk.
In addition to a horse betting parlor in Montgomery, there are also tractors, lawnmowers, and country-style trucks to steal and drive in. Most of the vehicles driven around the area have the default station of K Rose when entered. This results due to the county existing in the countryside. There is also a police station in Red County, particularly in Dillimore. The population of Red County, in 1992, is 3.215, with the total population of the four towns being 35.103. All of the Safehouse properties available to own have the same exact interior.

Trivia
- Due to Red County's location, just north of Vinewood (Hollywood), it is possible that it is meant to represent the San Fernando Valley, which is north of Hollywood in real life.
- One of CJ's girlfriends; Denise Robinson has proven her ignorance to dislike the aspects of Red County as her statements assume she gets incredibly bored when leaving Los Santos.
