The Outlaw Josey Wales was filmed in several locations, primarily in the southwestern United States. Key filming sites included:
- Old Tucson Studios in Tucson, Arizona, which was used for the film's Western town scenes.
- Patagonia Mountains and Empire Ranch in Arizona provided natural mountain and ranch backdrops.
- Lake Powell in Arizona, where some outdoor scenes were shot.
- Kanab Movie Ranch in Utah, a location known for its old movie sets.
- Other filming took place in locations in Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, and Oroville, California.
The film's production ran from October to December 1975, and the choice of locations reflected Clint Eastwood's preference for filming Westerns in cool autumn weather with natural, somber scenery.
