The State of Leonida fan project has mapped GTA 6’s world with over 1,600 interactive points of interest. Explore every confirmed region of Leonida, from Vice City to the Keys, months before the November 19 launch.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The GTA VI mapping community has built an enormous interactive map of the state of Leonida, the fictional Florida-inspired setting of Grand Theft Auto 6. Known as the State of Leonida project, the map features over 1,600 interactive points of interest, compiled from official trailers, pre-order screenshots, leaked RAGE engine coordinates, and months of community analysis. Accessible at map.stateofleonida.net, the project reached version 13 on June 24, 2026, and continues to expand ahead of the game’s November 19, 2026 release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is the State of Leonida Project?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

State of Leonida is a fan-driven interactive map of GTA 6’s open world. It is not an official Rockstar Games product. The project is maintained by a community member known as YANIS and developed collaboratively by the GTA VI Mapping community, which operates through a Discord server with over 16,000 members. Contributors use frame-by-frame trailer analysis, coordinate data from the 2022 leak, official promotional screenshots, and real-world Florida geography to reconstruct Leonida’s layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The map includes roads, beaches, parks, store names, landmarks, embedded trailer screenshots, and real-world comparisons. Interactive markers let users click on any location to view screenshots from trailers or community-sourced information. Navigation features added over time include background colour options, countdown timers, marker sharing, a media panel for trailers and screenshots, and a map drawing tool. The project has been updated continuously since March 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Regions Has Rockstar Officially Confirmed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rockstar Games has confirmed that GTA 6 takes place in the state of Leonida, its modern reimagining of Florida, with Vice City (a present-day take on Miami) as the centrepiece. Across two trailers and an official screenshot release, six distinct regions have been named:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Region<\/th>Real-World Inspiration<\/th>Character<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Vice City<\/strong><\/td>Modern Miami<\/td>Main metropolis: downtown, beaches, port, nightlife<\/td><\/tr>
Leonida Keys<\/strong><\/td>Florida Keys<\/td>Island chain, bridges, diving, resort atmosphere<\/td><\/tr>
Grassrivers<\/strong><\/td>The Everglades<\/td>Wetlands, hunting, fishing, alligator territory<\/td><\/tr>
Mount Kalaga<\/strong><\/td>Northern Florida highlands<\/td>Forested national park, lakes, remote wilderness<\/td><\/tr>
Port Gellhorn<\/strong><\/td>Gulf Coast port town<\/td>Industrial coastal settlement<\/td><\/tr>
Ambrosia<\/strong><\/td>Rural Florida<\/td>Small-town countryside<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These six regions are confirmed by Rockstar’s own materials. The community has also identified three county names from leak footage: Vice-Dale County, Leonard County, and Kelly County. These remain unconfirmed by Rockstar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Big Will the GTA 6 Map Be?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rockstar has not provided an official size figure for the Leonida map. The studio has described the game only as “the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet.” Community estimates based on RAGE engine coordinates, trailer analysis, and mapping reconstruction suggest the total land area could reach approximately 125 km\u00b2, which would make it roughly 2 to 2.5 times the size of GTA 5’s map (estimated at 75 to 80 km\u00b2). Some analyses push the estimate to 150 to 200 km\u00b2, but no official confirmation exists for any of these numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is clear from Rockstar’s own messaging is that Leonida spans six very different environments within a single continuous map. Urban coastline, subtropical wetlands, forested highlands, an island archipelago, an industrial port town, and rural countryside all exist without loading screens. For context, players familiar with Red Dead Redemption 2 can think of Grassrivers as Leonida’s equivalent of Bayou Nwa, and Mount Kalaga as its version of Ambarino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vice City: The Heart of the Map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vice City is positioned as the most detailed city Rockstar has ever built. The trailers showcase Art Deco beachfronts, neon-lit nightlife districts, a dense downtown skyline, and waterfront luxury developments. Canals, bays, and coastal waterways are woven deeply into the city’s structure, suggesting boats will play a much larger role in traversal than in any previous GTA title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within Vice City, the community map has identified numerous sub-districts: Vice Beach, Ocean Beach, South Beach, Washington Beach, Little Haiti, Rockridge, Hamlet, Stockyard (a Wynwood equivalent), and the Venetian Islands. Vice City International Airport and Vice City Port are also mapped. The city is expected to serve as the central hub for Jason and Lucia’s story, which Rockstar describes as a criminal conspiracy stretching across the entire state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Vice City: What the Wider Map Offers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The appeal of GTA 6’s map lies in its variety. Unlike GTA 5, where Los Santos dominated and the surrounding Blaine County served as a sparser counterpoint, Leonida is designed so that every region has distinct gameplay purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
