One of the first treasure maps players can find in Red Dead Redemption 2 is Chick’s treasure map, and it leads to a hidden wad of cash owed to the Van Der Linde Gang.
In Red Dead Redemption 2, players can find treasure maps that lead to various riches. One of the first treasure maps players are likely to come across is Chick’s treasure map, and while the game points out the treasure’s general location on the map, some players may still struggle finding the exact location of the loot.
In Red Dead Redemption 2, Chick’s treasure map can be obtained from Chick Matthews, a character who made the mistake of accepting a loan from the Van Der Linde Gang. In Chapter 2, players can accept the mission Money Lending and Other Sins from Leopold Strauss, and one of the debtors they have to run down is Chick Matthews. Chick will try to flee via horseback, but Arthur can take him down with a well-aimed lasso and then interrogate him.
Chick gives Arthur a map that leads to a nearby location east of Valentine. Upon arrival, players will want to look for a large tree and on its north side should be a hole. Upon searching the hole in the tree trunk, Arthur should find a wad of cash that will serve as Chick’s debt repayment.

Compared to other treasure maps in Red Dead Redemption 2, completing Chick’s treasure map is fairly easy. The only difficult part is finding the exact tree to loot, which is understandably challenging for some since players are led to a forested area.
Other treasure maps in the game are a bit more difficult, but they yield greater rewards. For example, players can complete the Poisonous Trail treasure map to get some gold bars that can be sold to a fence for $500 a pop. Players can also get gold bars if they manage to complete the Jack Hall Gang treasure map as well.
The reward for completing Chick’s treasure map is just some cash and story progression, but anyone willing to put in the extra footwork to complete the game’s other treasure maps will be able to get rich pretty quickly.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is out now for PS4 and Xbox One.
