GTA 6 Map: Six Confirmed Leonida Regions Explained
GTA 6 Map Analysis: All Six Confirmed Leonida Regions
The GTA 6 map reaches far beyond Vice City. Rockstar Games has officially highlighted six destinations across the state of Leonida: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park.
Those names are confirmed. Their exact coordinates, borders and total square mileage are not.
That distinction is important because community maps often combine official footage with road estimates, leaked development material and educated guesses. Fan projects can be useful navigation tools, but they are not the same as a final map released by Rockstar.

The video points viewers to the GTA 6 Explained interactive Leonida map. Public captions were unavailable when this article was prepared, so the breakdown below uses the video's public information and Rockstar's own location pages and media gallery.
What Rockstar has actually confirmed
Confirmed: GTA 6 takes place in the fictional state of Leonida, including a modern version of Vice City.
Confirmed: Rockstar has given six regions their own names and official imagery.
Not confirmed: A complete road map, the exact placement of every region, a square-mile measurement or the number of towns and cities in the final game.
Calling all six locations “cities” would be misleading. Vice City is the major urban center. Port Gellhorn is presented as a faded coastal destination, while the Keys, wetlands, industrial heartland and national park are different kinds of regions. Rockstar's selection shows environmental variety rather than six equally sized cities.
1. Vice City
Vice City is the neon-lit centerpiece of GTA 6 and Rockstar's fictional counterpart to Miami. Official footage and screenshots show beaches, towers, nightlife, dense roads, marinas and major differences in wealth from one area to another.
Confirmed fact: Vice City is part of the playable Leonida setting and central to Jason and Lucia's story.
Analysis: It will probably contain the game's densest concentration of businesses, traffic and urban activity. That is a reasonable reading of the official material, not a published building count.
Areas resembling Miami Beach, downtown Miami and surrounding neighborhoods appear in Rockstar's footage, but fans should not assume every real road has a direct one-to-one equivalent. Rockstar rebuilds and compresses real geography to serve missions, pacing and exploration.
2. Leonida Keys
The Leonida Keys form the island-chain region south of the urban center. Rockstar connects Jason's background with the Keys: he has worked for local drug runners there, while supporting character Brian Heder operates a boat yard and has a history in smuggling.
Official imagery establishes long bridges, small islands, waterways, boats and a relaxed coastal atmosphere. These features make the Keys more than a scenic highway. Water travel and the relationship between separated islands are likely to shape how the region feels.
Confirmed fact: The Leonida Keys are an official destination tied to Jason's circumstances.
Unconfirmed: Exact island count, underwater activities, property ownership and whether every bridge shown by fan maps exists in the final layout.
3. Grassrivers
Grassrivers is Leonida's vast wetland environment, inspired by the Everglades. Rockstar's screenshots show shallow water, airboats, mangroves and expansive natural terrain.
The region matters because it changes the rhythm of travel. A dense street grid can be navigated through intersections and highways; wetlands depend on waterways, narrow land routes and open natural spaces. That contrast should help Leonida feel like a state instead of one city surrounded by decorative countryside.
Confirmed fact: Grassrivers is one of the six official regions.
Analysis: The environment supports boating and off-road exploration, but Rockstar has not published a complete activity list or confirmed the boundaries visible on community maps.
4. Port Gellhorn
Port Gellhorn is Rockstar's worn-down coastal destination. The official presentation emphasizes cheap motels, closed attractions, empty retail spaces and an economy that has outlived its tourism boom.
That makes it a useful counterweight to Vice City. Driving from a polished resort district into Port Gellhorn could change the architecture, traffic, businesses and general tone without leaving Leonida.
Our full Port Gellhorn guide separates Rockstar's details from theories about its real-world inspiration and precise map position.
Confirmed fact: Port Gellhorn exists and has dedicated official screenshots.
Unconfirmed: Its population, mission count, exact coordinates and whether Rockstar considers it Leonida's second-largest city.
5. Ambrosia
Ambrosia represents Leonida's industrial heartland. Official material associates it with heavy industry, the Allied Crystal sugar refinery and a local biker presence.
This region expands the map's economic identity. Leonida is not only beaches and tourism; it also contains working towns, industrial facilities and transportation infrastructure. Large industrial sites have traditionally supported missions involving vehicles, restricted areas and cargo, although no specific Ambrosia activity should be treated as confirmed yet.
Confirmed fact: Ambrosia is an official region with industrial imagery.
Analysis: Its refinery and surrounding roads may provide a different mission environment from Vice City's streets, but Rockstar has not announced a refinery heist, business or purchasable property.
6. Mount Kalaga National Park
Mount Kalaga National Park sits at the wild end of Rockstar's location lineup. Forests, rivers, elevation and rough terrain distinguish it from the tropical coast and flat wetlands.
The official material references outdoor recreation and remote spaces, establishing a northern wilderness rather than another city. Mount Kalaga also demonstrates why alleged full-map measurements remain premature: we do not know how much land surrounds the highlighted scenery or how it connects with the rest of Leonida.
Confirmed fact: Mount Kalaga National Park is officially named and illustrated.
Unconfirmed: Its exact size, highest elevation, trail network and the number of settlements around it.
What fan-made GTA 6 maps can and cannot tell us
Community cartographers study trailers, screenshots, road signs, skylines and sight lines to estimate where locations may sit. That work can reveal possible relationships between landmarks and help fans explore Rockstar's clues.
However, a fan map remains a reconstruction. Camera perspective can distort distance, development footage may be outdated and Rockstar can alter roads before release. A polished interface does not convert estimated geography into confirmation.
Use our interactive GTA 6 map as an evolving analysis tool, and pair it with the Leonida locations guide. For size claims, read our GTA map-size comparison, which explains why official scale is still unavailable.
What the six regions reveal about Rockstar's design
The strongest conclusion is not that GTA 6 has a particular number of square miles. It is that Rockstar is building around contrast:
- Dense urban streets in Vice City
- Island roads and waterways in the Leonida Keys
- Wetlands in Grassrivers
- A declining coastal economy in Port Gellhorn
- Industrial infrastructure in Ambrosia
- Northern wilderness in Mount Kalaga
That variety can make journeys feel meaningful even without a record-breaking land area. Our analysis of why GTA 6 may have a smarter map rather than merely a bigger one explores that design principle in more detail.

FAQ
How many GTA 6 map regions are officially confirmed?
Rockstar has highlighted six: Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park.
Has Rockstar released the complete GTA 6 map?
No. Rockstar has released location pages, trailers and screenshots, but not a complete scaled road map.
Is Port Gellhorn a second major city?
Port Gellhorn is confirmed, but Rockstar has not defined its population or status relative to Vice City. Calling it a coastal town or region is safer than claiming it is equally large.
Are community GTA 6 maps accurate?
They can be careful reconstructions based on visible evidence, but estimated roads, borders and distances remain unofficial until Rockstar publishes the final map.
Is the GTA 6 map bigger than GTA 5?
Rockstar has not provided comparable square-mile measurements. Regional variety is confirmed; exact size comparisons are not.
Bottom line
GTA 6's six confirmed regions establish an open world built around urban, coastal, wetland, industrial and wilderness environments. They do not reveal every city, road or boundary. Treat Rockstar's names and imagery as facts, and fan-map positioning as analysis that may evolve as new official material arrives.
