Leonida Map: All Six Confirmed Regions

GTA VI is set in the fictional state of Leonida, Rockstar's take on Florida. Unlike GTA V, which centred almost everything on one city and its immediate surroundings, Leonida is a state-scale map with six officially named regions, each with a distinct geography and tone.

Vice City: the urban anchor

Vice City is Leonida's largest city and the setting's centre of gravity. Rockstar's own descriptions run from art deco hotels and white sand at Ocean Beach, through the panaderías of Little Cuba and the bootleg stalls of the Tisha-Wocka flea market, out to VC Port - described as the cruise ship capital of the world. That range matters: it reads as a city built from neighbourhoods rather than one downtown with suburbs attached.

The water regions: Keys and Grassrivers

Two of the six regions are defined by water rather than roads. The Leonida Keys are an island chain running south-west, where getting between land masses is a boat problem rather than a driving problem. Grassrivers is wetland - shallow, dense, and best crossed by airboat. Together they push GTA VI toward marine traversal in a way no previous entry has attempted.

• Leonida Keys - island-to-island travel, with bridges and boats rather than a continuous road network.
• Grassrivers - shallow wetland where airboats are the practical option and roads mostly aren't.
• VC Port - large-vessel infrastructure, including a working cargo ship shown in official footage.

The rural regions: Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, Mount Kalaga

Three regions cover the non-urban, non-wetland part of the state, and Rockstar describes each of them in its own words. Port Gellhorn is "Leonida's forgotten coast" - cheap motels, shut-down attractions and empty strip malls, with a new economy running on malt liquor, painkillers and truck stop energy drinks. Ambrosia is where "American industry and old school values still reign supreme": the Allied Crystal sugar refinery provides the jobs, and the local biker gang provides almost everything else. Mount Kalaga National Park sits against the state's northern border and offers, in Rockstar's phrasing, prime hunting, fishing and off-road trails, with hillbilly mystics and paranoid radicals living in the backwoods around it.

How the regions likely connect

This is inference from geography rather than a Rockstar statement. A Florida-shaped state with a major city on one coast, a port town on the opposite coast, wetland in the middle, and islands trailing south implies a roughly ring-shaped road network with a wetland interior that roads route around rather than through. That would make Grassrivers a genuine shortcut for anyone with the right vehicle - the kind of geography that rewards knowing the map.

Rockstar's own one-line description of each

The studio's Only in Leonida section gives every region a hook and a paragraph. Read together they are the most compact and most authoritative summary of the state available.

Five of the six hooks are atmosphere. Ambrosia's is the only one that sounds like a conflict, which is worth noting given that it is also the only region Rockstar attaches a named industry to.

Named places inside the regions

Rockstar has named twelve specific locations across its regional and edition copy, none of which appeared in a trailer. Most came from product descriptions.

• In Vice City: Ocean Beach, Little Cuba, the Tisha-Wocka flea market, VC Port, Southside, Stockyard, Washington Beach.
• Elsewhere: Watson Bay, Lake Leonida, Gambit Bay, Shore Drive, and the Vercetti Estate.
• In the Keys: the Rusty Anchor, a waterfront bar shown in an official screenshot.
• In Port Gellhorn: the Starlet Motel and the Delights Cabaret, both shown with signage visible.
• In Ambrosia: the Allied Crystal sugar refinery.
