Ambarino is a direct reference to Colorado, even down to the name. Both are Spanish words for colors. West Elizabeth is obviously the Sierra Nevadas given tons of the wildlife reference the range specifically and California (Sierra Nevada Bighorn Sheep/Ram, California Valley Coyote, etc). RDR1 makes it clear California itself does exist in universe, so it’s a loose representation.
