GTA 6 Map: The State of Leonida Explained

GTA 6 is set in Leonida — a fictional state modeled on Florida. It's Rockstar's largest open world ever, roughly 2× the traversable area of GTA V's San Andreas. Here's every confirmed region, city, and landmark.

Leonida at a glance

Leonida is a full US state — not just a city. It spans dense urban Vice City in the south, the wetlands and swamps of the Leonida Keys, the rural interior around Port Gellhorn, and the panhandle-style coastal north.

  • Roughly 100 sq km of land + water (est. from Trailer 2)
  • 5 major regions — Vice City, Leonida Keys, Port Gellhorn, Kelly County, Grassrivers
  • First multi-city Rockstar map since San Andreas (2004)
  • Full underwater layer with reefs, wrecks, and cave systems

Vice City (South Leonida)

The primary metropolis and Jason & Lucia's home base. A modern, hyper-stylized reboot of the 1986 original. Dense downtown, Ocean View/beach district, Little Cuba, marina, and the Vice Beach nightlife strip.

The Leonida Keys

A chain of small islands connected by causeways heading south. Fishing shacks, private marinas, and — datamined but unconfirmed — a hidden Rockstar-easter-egg lighthouse. Prime territory for water-based missions.

Port Gellhorn & Kelly County

Central Florida–inspired inland regions. Trailer parks, gator farms, dirt tracks, and the swamp interior. Expect the map's most iconic side-content moments here.

Grassrivers & the northern panhandle

Rural, cypress-strewn wetlands north of Vice City. Confirmed via Trailer 2. Home to the airboat traversal system Rockstar showcased.

Map size vs GTA 5

Best estimates put Leonida at ~1.9× the size of GTA V's map, or ~2.6× including water. The bigger number that matters: interior density is far higher — datamines show 400+ enterable buildings vs GTA V's ~50.
