GTA VI map: the state of Leonida and its locations

GTA VI takes place in the state of Leonida, the game's stand-in for Florida. Rockstar has not released the full map yet, but it showed part of it in September 2026 (the Sandbars and Crude Islands) and has confirmed its locations: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, the Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga.

Grand Theft Auto VI takes place in the state of Leonida, the game’s fictional stand-in for Florida, and it is the first time the series uses a whole state as its setting. Rockstar has not published the full official map image yet, but its website does confirm the locations that make it up. Beware of fan-made maps floating around: they are unofficial reconstructions based on the trailers.

The confirmed map locations

Vice City: the main city, Leonida’s criminal and cultural capital. Skyscrapers, white-sand beaches like Vice Beach, nightclubs and neighborhoods with their own identity.

Leonida Keys: the southern archipelago, inspired by the Florida Keys. Islands linked by worn bridges, marinas and roads that end in the sea. Jason lives here.

Grassrivers: Leonida’s wetlands, the game’s take on the Everglades. Canals, hovercrafts, alligators and fishermen.

Port Gellhorn: the state’s fishing port, with its docks and its faded coastal-town feel.

Ambrosia: Leonida’s industrial area, dominated by its factories and working-class activity.

Mount Kalaga: the mountainous area in the north of the state, with its natural park landscapes.

First partial look: Sandbars and Crude Islands

In September 2026 Rockstar officially showed part of the map for the first time, albeit through the back door: the double-sided poster in the Vice City Collection includes the Leonida map, and its promotional image reveals a western archipelago with two named islands: Sandbars and Crude Islands. Everything points to them being part of the Leonida Keys, but their exact location cannot be confirmed until the full map is published.

How you cross it

Jason and Lucia’s story spans the whole state: when their score goes wrong, the conspiracy they get dragged into takes them from one end of Leonida to the other, and that journey is the backbone of the game.
