      In that, they made a mistake. A very very minor one. But because it wouldn't be fun if it were just a mistake, I'm going to assume the mistake is canon and use space math on it.

      In the video, they highlight the clock a couple times, showing that it's almost noon. There's a standoff in the video that turns to shooting the second the clock strikes noon, and this is highlighted as well:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKYVvPNhRR0&feature=youtu.be&t=279 …

      Overwatch players will immediately recognize the significance: McCree, one of the characters in this short, has an ability where he shouts "it's high noon" and shoots everyone. It's reasonable to assume that the clock is used to signify the arrival of high noon.

      Except -- high noon rarely coincides with clock noon! Of course, this could just be symbolism or a mistake, but like I said it's no fun that way :P

      Given that Route 66 is a real historical route, we can use this to calculate likely positions of the Route 66 map in Overwatch.

      Using the `ephem` python library for space math, I calculated places where at clock noon (assuming normal time zones and DST), the sun is closer to the celestial meridian (has an azimuthal angle of 0 or 180) than at times just before or after clock noon https://github.com/Manishearth/high-noon/blob/master/noon.py …

      This gives us seven possible locations along Route 66 in the southwest:https://github.com/Manishearth/high-noon#locations …

      Of these, three of them are actually in regions with the red rock formations present in the Overwatch map: somewhere east of Albuquerque https://www.google.com/maps/place/35%C2%B000'00.0%22N+105%C2%B027'00.0%22W/@34.8944304,-105.557479,102846m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d35!4d-105.45 …, east of Needles in the desert https://www.google.com/maps/place/34%C2%B051'00.0%22N+114%C2%B055'12.0%22W/@34.7914143,-114.8497319,46039m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d34.85!4d-114.92 …, or west of Flagstaffhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/35%C2%B012'00.0%22N+111%C2%B045'36.0%22W/@35.2388986,-111.8218234,23963m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d35.2!4d-111.76 …

      The Albuquerque one seems to be closest to such formations (and canyon/gorge-like areas), so that's probably it.

      TLDR making a bunch of assumptions we can pinpoint the Overwatch Route 66 map to be somewhere here:https://www.google.com/maps/place/35%C2%B000'00.0%22N+105%C2%B027'00.0%22W/@34.8944304,-105.557479,102846m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d35!4d-105.45 …

          That is some next level mathematics usage. Though similar is also used for calculating the potential locations of images found from the internet. Use Google Earth to jump to that location and switch to a 3D mode on the ground level to get human viewpoint from the Google Earth.

          If there are mountains etc. you can adjust Google Earth settings to increase the height of scenery multiple times, making it look more realistic from a ground level. That trick is used by researchers to pinpoint exact geo locations from pictures that lack metadata.
