Scenes and places

The payroll office and the temperance parade (1913)

Pike sees the bounty hunters waiting and tries to slip away behind a temperance union parade. The getaway turns into a chaotic shootout that kills many bystanders and more than half his gang.

Set in Railroad payroll office, South Texas town — The gang, disguised as U.S. cavalry, tries to rob a railroad payroll office while a temperance parade passes outside.

The film's opening is set in an unnamed South Texas town; the cited pages give no filming location for it.

Angel's village and Don José's warning (1913)

Broke and hunted, the gang crosses the Rio Grande to Angel's birthplace. The elder, Don José, tells them about Mapache, the army officer who has been raiding villages and who hanged Angel's father.

Set in Angel's home village, Mexico — A rural village across the Rio Grande where Angel was born.

The cited pages give no filming location for this village.

Agua Verde and General Mapache (1913)

The gang enters Mapache's headquarters town, where Angel spots his former lover in the general's arms and shoots her. Pike and Dutch defuse the standoff, and Mapache offers them $10,000 in gold to rob a U.S. Army train.

Set in Agua Verde — The town where General Mapache has set up his headquarters.

A fictional town; the film was shot at a desert hacienda in Coahuila.

Filmed at Hacienda Ciénega del Carmen, Coahuila — Wikipedia names the hacienda as the film's principal location; a French-language article ties it to the Agua Verde scenes (see disputes). Google Maps · Apple Maps

How to get there:

The train raid and the Rio Grande bridge (1913)

The gang robs the army train as planned, but Thornton's posse bursts out of it and chases them to the border. Pike's crew blows up a trestle bridge over the Rio Grande, dumping Thornton and his men into the river.

Set in Rio Grande trestle bridge — A bridge spanning the Rio Grande at the Mexican border.

The Rio Grande is a stand-in here: the cited pages place the bridge shoot on the Nazas River.

Filmed at Nazas River, Durango/Coahuila — The bridge scene was filmed on the Nazas River instead of the Rio Grande; the point is a representative point for the river, not the bridge. Google Maps · Apple Maps

Back to Agua Verde: celebration and a night of reflection (1913)

The gang returns to a town where the army is drunkenly celebrating the weapons. Mapache refuses to sell Angel, who is dragged through town behind a red roadster, and Pike and the others spend a night of reflection in a brothel before arming themselves to rescue their friend.

Set in Agua Verde — The headquarters town again, with the army celebrating its new weapons.

A fictional town; filmed at a desert hacienda in Coahuila.

Filmed at Hacienda Ciénega del Carmen, Coahuila — Same hacienda as the first Agua Verde scene; the cited English article does not name this scene's set, so this follows the Agua Verde link. Google Maps · Apple Maps
