In 1899, modernity clashes with the fading Wild West. Industry and law meet untamed lands influenced by deep-seated sexism and racism. Towns evolve, yet dangers and old superstitions persist. Progress contrasts with folklore. Diverse landscapes reflect social inequalities and contested resources. Industrial growth offers opportunity but also exploitation, straining a prejudiced society. Life is harsh; the beautiful land demands resilience, often tested by societal biases and ingrained beliefs.

A small town in Big Valley, West Elizabeth, transformed from a logging settlement to a health resort under its idealistic mayor. Its economy centers on the Welcome Center and a unique firearms ban promoting peace. With around 300 residents, including loggers and tourists, the town relies on logging, tourism, retail, and small-scale farming. The community is mostly working-class, with a rising middle class from new businesses but no elite. The culture blends rugged logging traditions with the mayor's refined tastes, merging simplicity and sophistication. Danger Rating: 4/10. The town is peaceful due to strict laws and a sheriff, but its isolation makes it vulnerable to threats like the Skinner Brothers gang. The wilderness poses dangers from wildlife, including cougars and bears, and the river can be risky in spring. Tensions exist between the logging community and the mayor's plans, especially about the unrealistic firearms ban.
The town features rustic wooden chalet-style buildings along a single dirt main road by the Upper Montana River, connected by a large wooden bridge. The town is clean, organized, and surrounded by pine forests, with fresh air scented by pine and woodsmoke.
