GTA 6 Map: Leonida Explained — Every Confirmed Location

Last Updated: November 12, 2026

The GTA 6 map is the fictional US state of Leonida — Rockstar’s take on Florida — built around a modern-day Vice City. Rockstar has never published a full map image, so every “complete GTA 6 map” you have seen online is fan-made or leak-based. What Rockstar has done is officially name and describe six regions on its own site, and that confirmed list is what this page is built on.

Below: every confirmed Leonida location with Rockstar’s own descriptions, the confirmed Vice City districts, the honest truth about map size (Rockstar speaks in comparisons, never numbers), and what remains unknown until November 19.

Quick answer: Leonida’s six officially confirmed regions are Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park. Rockstar developers say the map is roughly twice the size of GTA V’s, with Vice City alone twice Los Santos — but no official km² figure or full map exists yet.

The Six Confirmed Regions of Leonida

Rockstar presents these as “must-see destinations” in Leonida — its own wording suggests the list may not be everything in the state.

Region	Rockstar’s tagline	What it is
Vice City	“Everything in Excess”	The big city — “still the sun and fun capital of America”
Leonida Keys	“Gateway to Paradise”	A tropical island archipelago with “beautiful and dangerous waters”
Grassrivers	“Welcome to the Wetlands”	A primordial swamp of mangroves, gators “and far deadlier predators”
Port Gellhorn	“Live Hard”	“Leonida’s forgotten coast” — cheap motels, empty strip malls, a new underground economy
Ambrosia	—	Sugar country: the Allied Crystal refinery provides the jobs, “the local biker gang provides almost everything else”
Mount Kalaga	“Wild, Wild Country”	A national park on the northern border: hunting, fishing, off-road trails

Vice City

The star of the map. Rockstar’s official blurb describes a city that has moved on from the ’80s while keeping its glamour, hustle and greed. Confirmed named districts and spots inside the city (from Rockstar’s own text — these are the only official ones): Ocean Beach, with its pastel art deco hotels and white sands; Little Cuba and its panaderías; the Tisha-Wocka flea market of bootleg brands; and the VC Port, “the cruise ship capital of the world.” Edition materials add Southside Vice City. Anything else you have seen named — “Vice Beach,” “Little Havana” — is fan naming, not Rockstar’s.

Leonida Keys

The tropical archipelago south of the mainland, bridge-linked like the real Florida Keys. Rockstar calls the dress code casual and the bars loaded, and warns the surrounding waters are among the most beautiful and dangerous in America. It is also home turf: Jason lives and works in the Keys. Underwater exploration is confirmed — scuba diving is an official activity, and Rockstar’s Keys artwork shows divers among coral.

Grassrivers

Leonida’s Everglades: an “untamable jewel” of mangrove wetlands where gators are only the most famous attraction. Airboats are confirmed vehicles here, and the wetlands anchor the game’s wildlife system — Rockstar has confirmed 170+ animal species statewide, sorted into Rare, Discoverable and Legendary tiers.

Port Gellhorn

The forgotten coast: a faded vacation strip of cheap motels and shut-down attractions with a new economy “fueled by malt liquor, painkillers, and truck stop energy drinks.” Press and fans read it as the Florida Panhandle (the real “Forgotten Coast” is Franklin County’s tourism brand) — though Rockstar never names real places. A motorsport venue, Gellhorn International Raceway, is also tied to the area.

Ambrosia

The industrial heartland: sugar fields and the Allied Crystal refinery, old-school values, and a biker gang that runs everything else. The real-world parallel the press draws is the sugar country south of Lake Okeechobee (and Rockstar’s edition copy mentions an off-road shop “on Lake Leonida” — its in-state mirror). The confirmed Ultimate-only and bonus businesses in our GTA 6 editions compared guide are scattered across towns like this one.

Mount Kalaga National Park

The wild north: a national landmark on the state’s northern border offering prime hunting, fishing and off-road trails, and “room to breathe.” Notably, it has no real Florida equivalent — Florida’s highest point is barely a hill — making Kalaga Leonida’s most invented region.

How Big Is the GTA 6 Map, Really?

Rockstar has never published an area figure, for this map or any previous one. What its developers have said, on the record in 2026:

• Rob Nelson (Rockstar North co-studio head): Leonida is twice the size of GTA V’s map and three times RDR2’s; Vice City alone is twice Los Santos; counting all towns, the built-up area is around 11× GTA V’s.
• Aaron Garbut (head of development): roughly twice GTA V, the biggest map Rockstar has made “by some degree,” with “an order of magnitude more interiors” than past games.

Those yardsticks don’t perfectly reconcile with each other — which is exactly why any precise km² number attributed to Rockstar is made up. The community mapping project (the fan effort that rebuilds Leonida from trailer frames) puts land area around ~86 km² in its current version — impressive fan work, clearly labelled as such, and still not the shipping map. The only honest summary: about double GTA V, by Rockstar’s own repeated description.

Confirmed Things to Do Across the Map

From Rockstar’s Game Informer cover story and the official “Extended Look”: scuba diving, fishing, kayaking, jet skiing, air boating, street and off-road racing, motocross, demolition derbies, mountain biking, base jumping, parachuting, golf, billiards, basketball, gyms, hunting and even zoo visits — plus hurricanes as a world system, and fast travel via an in-world ride app. How all of that feels moment to moment is a launch-week question; the unlock moment itself is covered in our GTA 6 release time guide.

What We Still Don’t Know

• The full map. No official image, boundaries or complete town list exists; a map that leaked in August 2026 (five counties, a southern-island airport) came from an older build, was taken down by Take-Two, and may not match the final game.
• Airport playability. Vice City International Airport appears on signage in the trailers; terminal interiors and runway access are unconfirmed.
• Underwater detail. Diving is confirmed; treasure, loot systems and shark behaviour are not.
• Post-launch expansion. Nothing is announced — no story DLC or map additions. A 2022 Bloomberg report said Rockstar planned to add missions and cities over time; that is an old report about a plan, not a confirmation, and Rockstar’s last story expansions were GTA IV’s 2009 episodes.
