GTA 6 map: the state of Leonida and its six regions
GTA 6 takes place across Leonida, a fictional state modeled on Florida. Rockstar has named six regions so far. Here is what each one is like, which real places they resemble, and what is still unknown about the size of the GTA 6 map.

Where is GTA 6 set?
The six regions of Leonida
Rockstar's official site splits the state into six areas:
- Vice City: the neon city on the Atlantic coast, with beaches, high rises, a busy port, and nightlife.
- Leonida Keys: a chain of islands to the south, linked by long bridges.
- Grassrivers: wide wetlands of sawgrass, airboats, and alligators.
- Port Gellhorn: a worn Gulf coast resort town of motels, piers, and strip malls.
- Ambrosia: an inland sugar town built around its refinery.
- Mount Kalaga: forested hills in the north, with a national park for hunting, fishing, and trails.
Which real places inspired the map?
Rockstar does not name real places, so these are comparisons from fans and coverage. Vice City reads as Miami and Miami Beach, the Keys as the Florida Keys, Grassrivers as the Everglades, Port Gellhorn as the Gulf coast resort towns, Ambrosia as the sugar towns near Lake Okeechobee, and Mount Kalaga as the hills and springs of north Florida.
How big is the GTA 6 map?
Rockstar has not given a size, and it has not said whether the whole state is open from the start. Fan maps built from trailer and screenshot details suggest a map larger than GTA 5's, but those are estimates, not confirmation, and they change as new footage appears. Our rumors page sorts the size claims.
Our own map uses the YANIS community map, made by fans. Every position on it is an estimate, and it says so.
