Looking at the "leaked" map is probably clouding my judgment, so I'm gonna take a step back now, like Fitty, and just work with the source material. This is my work in progress, similar to Fitty i just went and placed landmarks where they look situated on a clean slate.

I feel like this is how the trailer aligns with the leaked map. Obviously, there's no solid information, but I think we're on to something for sure. Shot 1: There's two black marks on the map that could actually be those two big rocks in the centre of the shot. And we know that the oil fields from the inferno shot is to the right of the horses. Shot 2: The oil fields seem to face the same sort of direction as shot 1 because of the mountains. Shot 3: It faces North based on the same mountain peak to the left of the cowboys and the oil fields. It's also a "Pig Farm", maybe Aberdeens on the map. Shot 4: It looks like it could be facing west based on geography, that train may be coming from Valentine across the heartlands. Shot 5: Based on geography, i get the feeling that this ranch is on the other side of the river. the mountains are closer and rotated to the left. Shot 6: Wide shot of the heartlands. The rocks and mountains match up. I'm still skeptical about the valley creek unless someone can prove otherwise? Can you see how the creek bends, and it seems to split into two sections one goes behind the trees to the left.. Just found this: That's Tabletop to the left, then Three Peaks behind. Not sure where Pyramid fits in here.

I'm like 4th dimension. Dup is somewhere in the 7th at this point. @DuPz0r One thing I don't like about "pyramid" is that in the final posse shot the trees appear to be white/snow covered but in the homestead/dead deer shot they are green with less snow. Perhaps they were untextured for the final shot or if you really want to speculate, we'll see actual changes in seasons. edit Using Dup's names:

This one is hard to tell, a lot f the peaks look similar. But if you visualise what it could look like from either angle, those features line up. Thanks for helping Fitty. That really helped me visualise it. I think i have a good idea of what this area looks like now. Might have to construct a map I was gonna make a map, but decided to take a look at one particular region that i felt matched the area the trailer took place in.

I plan, with the help of you all, to map RDR2's world based on screenshots and footage. We did it with GTA V and it turned out pretty accurate. Let's do it again! It's still too early to tell, and i might be barking up the wrong tree. But i have to start somewhere... And if we were to include that "leaked map", id' say it's somewhere in the heartlands. Although the river looks a lot more twisty, more like the one to the right of the map if i'm honest.

Forgot that cattle shot. I was trying to do something similar with that map and camera angles but things weren't quite lining up as they should. As for the river, I was looking at something similar. I had it continuing left past the building with that bottom-left spot unrelated.

I implore you... OMG IT WAS SHORt BUT BEAUTIFUL!

Sick

I loved how they broke down GTAV and I'm already loving their work with RDR2. It's going to be a fun year following those two.

i quote this because... fitty and dup are in another dimension right now... so imma let them do their thing... go on, you fine gentlemen...
