GTA 6 locations: the six regions of Leonida explained

GTA 6 is set in Leonida, a fictional state based on Florida Official. Its big city is Vice City, Rockstar's take on Miami Official. Rockstar's "Only in Leonida" page presents six regions Official. Here they are, in our own words, with the place names Rockstar itself uses.

The six official regions#

Region	What Rockstar shows	Places named by Rockstar
Vice City	The big coastal city: art deco hotels, white beaches, street markets, a huge cruise port	Ocean Beach, Little Cuba, Tisha-Wocka flea market, VC Port, Southside, Stockyard Official
Leonida Keys	A tropical chain of islands, laid-back on the surface, with dangerous waters around it	None so far Official
Grassrivers	A vast wild swamp of mangroves and alligators, with worse things in the water	None so far Official
Port Gellhorn	A fading seaside resort of cheap motels and closed attractions, now living off a shady economy	None so far Official
Ambrosia	The industrial heart of the state, with a sugar refinery as main employer and a biker gang running the rest	Allied Crystal refinery Official
Mount Kalaga	A national park on the northern border, for hunting, fishing and off-road trails, with odd folk in the woods	Mount Kalaga National Park Official

The Ultimate extras name a few more places: Lake Leonida, the Paradise Garage in Watson Bay, and Gambit Bay Official.

Real places behind the map#

Rockstar confirms only the general idea: Leonida for Florida, Vice City for Miami Official. The rest comes from fans, who compare the regions to real areas Community.

Region	Often compared to	Confidence
Vice City	Miami	Official
Leonida Keys	Florida Keys	Community
Grassrivers	The Everglades	Community
Port Gellhorn	The Florida Panhandle	Community
Ambrosia	Inland Florida sugar country	Deduction
Mount Kalaga	No close match, Florida has no mountain	Deduction

Rockstar's field team visited Miami many times from 2015 to gather material, according to Wikipedia Community.

What you can do where#

Hunting and fishing: Rockstar names both at Mount Kalaga, and fishing again in the Shitzu Squalo text Official. Older guides still call fishing unconfirmed. That is out of date.
Airboats and alligators: shown in Grassrivers Official.
Other activities: skydiving, wrestling, basketball, working out, kayaking and diving are listed on Wikipedia Community.
Weather: seasonal hurricanes are reported by the same source Community.

The map#

Our OpenGTA6Map gathers the known places, each with its confidence level. Its background is a drawing of ours. It is schematic, with no real scale, and will be replaced after release Deduction.

Rockstar's own map arrives on release day: a free printable map of Leonida on its website Press.

What counts as confirmed here#

Every place on this page appears on a Rockstar page or a store listing we read on 7 November. Each place on the map carries one of these labels:

Level	Meaning
Official	Published by Rockstar or Take-Two
Press	Reported by a recognised outlet
Community	Wiki, forum or fans, to treat with care
Rumour	Unconfirmed, hidden by default on the map
Deduction	Our own reasoning

We list nothing that rests only on leaks, even to deny it.

What we still do not know#

The full list of towns and districts.
Which areas are open from the start.
