GTA 6 map: the six regions of Leonida and the real places that inspired them
Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga. This is the state where GTA 6 takes place.
GTA 6 is set in Leonida, a fictional state based on Florida. It’s the first GTA to return to Vice City since Vice City Stories (2006), but this time the city is only one part of an entire state.
Important: Rockstar has officially named six regions but has not published an official map yet. The positions and sizes on fan maps are estimates based on the trailers. An official map poster arrives on November 19.
The six official regions
| Region | Where it is (approx.) | Real-world inspiration |
|---|---|---|
| Vice City | Southeast coast | Miami |
| Leonida Keys | Island chain south of Vice City | Florida Keys |
| Grassrivers | Southwestern wetlands | Everglades |
| Port Gellhorn | Northwest, in the state’s “panhandle” | Florida Panhandle |
| Ambrosia | Center of the state | Inland sugar towns |
| Mount Kalaga National Park | North | North Florida forests and parks |
The inspiration column is our interpretation of what the trailers show, not something Rockstar has stated.
Vice City
The game’s big city and Rockstar’s take on Miami: beaches, skyscrapers, nightlife, clubs and a huge port. It’s the area that features most in the trailers.
Leonida Keys
Islands linked by bridges south of Vice City. This is Jason’s turf, along with characters like Brian Heder, and it’s tied to smuggling by sea.
Grassrivers
Swamps, alligators and airboats. A wild area reminiscent of the Everglades that promises chases across the water.
Port Gellhorn
A run-down coastal area in the northwest that looks like a faded tourist town.
Ambrosia
The agricultural and industrial heart of the state, with sugar refineries and a very different vibe from the coast.
Mount Kalaga National Park
Forests, rivers and nature in the north. The ideal area for hunting, fishing and off-road trails. See all the activities in GTA 6.
Is it bigger than the GTA V map?
Everything suggests so. Press previews published after the Extended Look describe a map roughly twice the size of GTA V’s, but Rockstar hasn’t given official figures. Rockstar will publish an official map to download on November 19, and once the game is out we’ll build an interactive one with every location. Meanwhile, tour the regions in Leonida in official screenshots.
