The GTA VI Map: All Six Confirmed Regions
Vice City, the Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga - a verified tour of Leonida.
Rockstar has named six major regions in Leonida. Together they expand GTA VI beyond Vice City's skyline into islands, wetlands, a faded resort coast, an industrial center, and northern wilderness.
No official boundary map, total land area, road count, or comparison with GTA V has been published. Fan maps are useful reconstructions, but their dimensions and street layouts should not be treated as final.
The six regions
- Vice City: Leonida's neon urban center, covering beaches, luxury districts, nightlife, neighborhoods, and waterways.
- Leonida Keys: a tropical island chain associated with fishing, bars, boating, and Brian Heder's smuggling operation.
- Grassrivers: a vast wetland where wildlife, airboats, and backwater routes dominate the landscape.
- Port Gellhorn: a worn-down coastal destination shaped by discount tourism, old attractions, motels, and strip malls.
- Ambrosia: an inland industrial region centered on heavy industry and the Allied Crystal sugar refinery.
- Mount Kalaga National Park: Leonida's northern wilderness of forests, rivers, trails, and rural communities.
What this variety means
The regions support very different travel rhythms: dense urban driving, long highways, shallow-water navigation, open-sea boating, and off-road movement. The trailers also show aircraft, motorcycles, trucks, and watercraft across these environments.
Those vehicles are visibly present, but Rockstar has not yet detailed ownership, customization, fuel, cargo, wildlife interaction, or regional mission systems.
How to read fan maps
- Trust recurring landmarks that can be matched across official trailers and screenshots.
- Treat road geometry, scale, and inaccessible boundaries as provisional.
- Keep confirmed region names separate from community-created district names.
- Expect reconstruction projects to change whenever Rockstar publishes new footage.
Region identity beyond postcards
For “The GTA VI Map: All Six Confirmed Regions,” treat officially named Leonida regions as identity anchors rather than postcard checklists. Tourist glitter, working waterfronts, wetlands, and inland corridors can share a state fantasy without identical density.
Carry forward only the map details Rockstar has published. Decorative screenshots illustrate atmosphere; they do not finalize road networks or interior counts.
Travel modes and geography
Visible boats, highways, and aircraft in marketing related to “The GTA VI Map: All Six Confirmed Regions” suggest multi-modal travel across Leonida, but exact unlock rules and traversal systems remain unconfirmed unless Rockstar states them.
Geography analysis should note choke points and biome shifts without inventing timed trial lists or unreleased vehicle classes. What you can see is evidence; what you wish to drive is not.
Fan maps versus official names
Fan cartography around “The GTA VI Map: All Six Confirmed Regions” is useful as hypothesis and poor as citation. Prefer Rockstar's published names and trailer-visible landmarks when teaching readers the state.
When a community map disagrees with official labeling, the official label wins until Rockstar updates it. Do not present reconstructed borders as confirmed for the November 19 launch marketing kit.
Open questions for cartographers
Scale, verticality, interior density, and how districts connect under free-roam pressure remain open even after strong trailer geography. List those as questions, not as solved lore.
Grand Theft Auto VI remains scheduled for November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S unless a newer Rockstar or Take-Two update supersedes that plan. Map speculation should never be framed as a reason the console date moved. Cartographic uncertainty is normal this far from release.
