GTA 6 Map: All 6 Regions of Leonida and Their Real Places
The GTA 6 map is the state of Leonida, Rockstar's fictional take on Florida. The Verge describes it as a fictionalized version of Florida that includes Vice City (The Verge). Rockstar has named six regions so far: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park (GamesRadar).
This guide goes region by region: what Rockstar says is there, which real place it is most often compared to, and what hasn't been announced, like the map size. The game launches on November 19, 2026 (Rockstar Newswire), so this covers what is known before launch. Reading takes about 7 minutes; checked on November 8, 2026.
What is the GTA 6 map?
The GTA 6 map is Leonida, a fictional US state modeled on Florida, with Vice City as its main urban setting. Rockstar describes the game's setting as "the darkest side of the sunniest place in America" (Rockstar). MissionMarker notes that Rockstar never names Florida itself, and that the store listings say the game is fictional (MissionMarker).
| Region | What it is | Closest real place (as compared by GTA BOOM and MissionMarker) |
|---|---|---|
| Vice City | The big city: beaches, nightlife, towers, port | Miami and Miami Beach |
| Leonida Keys | Tropical island chain with bridges and boats | Florida Keys |
| Grassrivers | Wetlands, airboats, alligators | Everglades |
| Port Gellhorn | Faded resort town on the coast | Florida's Gulf Coast resort towns |
| Ambrosia | Sugar-refinery town, cane fields, bikers | Clewiston and the Lake Okeechobee sugar belt |
| Mount Kalaga National Park | Forested mountains in the north | No Florida match; GTA BOOM compares it to Appalachian country |
These comparisons come from the two outlets, not from Rockstar (GTA BOOM, MissionMarker). As GTA BOOM puts it, it's "not a one-to-one map".
What is Vice City like in GTA 6?
Vice City is Leonida's main city and the closest match to Miami. GamesRadar, summarizing Rockstar's descriptions, lists Ocean Beach with white sand and pastel art deco hotels, Little Cuba, and the VC Port, billed as the cruise ship capital of the world (GamesRadar).
The real-world echoes are close. MissionMarker points to Miami Beach's art deco district, Little Havana for Little Cuba, and PortMiami, which Miami-Dade County calls the "Cruise Capital of the World" (MissionMarker).
What are the Leonida Keys?
The Leonida Keys are a tropical island chain south of the mainland, Rockstar's version of the Florida Keys. Rockstar calls them the "Gateway to Paradise": boat parties, dive bars and some of the most beautiful and dangerous waters in America (GamesRadar). GamesRadar also mentions scuba diving among turtles as a side activity.
GTA BOOM calls this "the clearest regional match in the game": long bridges linking low islands, like the real Overseas Highway (GTA BOOM). It's also part of the story: Jason's background is running for drug dealers in the Keys (GamesRadar).
What is Grassrivers?
Grassrivers is Leonida's wetland region, based on the Everglades. GamesRadar describes it as a hunters' paradise of alligators, homes on stilts and marshes where "deadlier predators lurk beneath the surface" (GamesRadar).
Even the name points to the real place: the Everglades are often called a "river of grass", as GTA BOOM notes. Shallow waterways and airboats replace ordinary roads there (GTA BOOM).
What is Port Gellhorn?
Port Gellhorn is a run-down former tourist town in decline. GamesRadar describes a cabaret, the Starlet Motel, empty strip malls and abandoned attractions, with a drug trade taking hold (GamesRadar).
Its real-world match is the loosest of the six. GTA BOOM compares it to faded Gulf Coast resort towns (GTA BOOM), while MissionMarker notes it borrows a real Florida nickname, the "Forgotten Coast", but describes the opposite of that place (MissionMarker).
What is Ambrosia?
Ambrosia is an industrial sugar town built around the Allied Crystal refinery, where a local biker gang enforces old-school values (GamesRadar).
Both outlets compare it to Clewiston and the sugar-growing country south of Lake Okeechobee: mills, cane fields and railways on flat wetland (GTA BOOM, MissionMarker).
What is Mount Kalaga National Park?
Mount Kalaga National Park is the wild northern edge of Leonida: hunting deer and mountain lions, fishing, kayaking and off-road trails, with backwoods communities hidden away from the government (GamesRadar).
This is where Leonida departs from Florida. MissionMarker points out that Florida's highest point is 345 feet, so there's no real mountain park to match (MissionMarker). GTA BOOM compares it to the southern Appalachian and Blue Ridge country instead (GTA BOOM).
How big is the GTA 6 map?
Rockstar hasn't published the size of the GTA 6 map or the distances between regions; MissionMarker says so explicitly (MissionMarker). Fan maps pieced together from trailers exist, but treat any size comparison with GTA 5 as an estimate until Rockstar confirms it. GamesRadar also expects more, smaller areas beyond the six main regions (GamesRadar).
Can you make your own Leonida-style art?
Yes. You can make a postcard, wallpaper or poster of your favorite region in the GTA 6 style before launch, using your own scene, not game screenshots. Describe the place (a beach with a lifeguard tower, a bay with a causeway, a swamp with an airboat), add our tested style block, and leave out the game's names.
The prompts for both pictures are in our GTA 6 wallpaper guide. For a full poster, see GTA 6 cover art. An image with GPT Image 2.6 costs 2 credits at 1K on DramaCanvas, and new accounts get free credits. Open a canvas with GPT Image 2.6 ready.
