Dirtwater is one of the towns in West of Loathing. It is the starting point of the game.
Create New Dirtwater starts out with a long line of empty lots on the right, marked by 'Lot Available' signs. If you walk in front of them, they fill about 3 or 4 screens' worth before stopping at a sign that says 'Not a lot available past this point'. The running gag involving spittoons. For West of Loathing on the Nintendo Switch, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Lost Dutch Oven Mine'.

The guy in the white hat is easiest to move, just tell him where to look for his belt buckle.
The guy in the black hat will try and block you from entering any of the buildings you click on, so click on the jail.
The woman wants you to stay away from her, so herd her like an inept sheepdog and with a bit of luck you'll have all three right where you want them!
Go to the back of the town and cut the rope holding the jail up.
Return to the front of town to find the Gang dazed, arrest them to return to town and your reward!

You might have spotted Fort Alldead on the map.
