The real Florida places behind Rockstar's Leonida, on a real map. Each pin is labeled by how solid the link is: OFFICIAL where Rockstar draws the connection itself, WIDELY READ where nearly everyone agrees but Rockstar hasn't said it, and FAN MATCH where an outlet or the mapping community matched a trailer shot to a real place. Rockstar usually blends several real places into one, so treat fan matches as inspirations, not one-to-one copies.
Map
Every Pin, Explained
| In GTA 6 | Real place | How solid |
|---|---|---|
| Vice City (downtown) Vice City | Downtown Miami | OFFICIAL Rockstar describes Vice City as its Miami; outlets match the skyline to downtown Miami. |
| Ocean Drive / Ocean Beach strip Vice City | Ocean Drive, Miami Beach | FAN MATCH Art deco beachfront matched by Dexerto from trailer footage. |
| Sahara Arena Vice City | Kaseya Center, Miami | FAN MATCH Arena in the trailers matched to Miami's Kaseya Center. |

| Causeway bridge Vice City | Venetian Causeway | FAN MATCH Low causeway in trailer shots matched to the Venetian Causeway. |

| Keys roadside shops Leonida Keys | Rain Barrel Village, Islamorada | FAN MATCH Roadside artisan village matched by Dexerto. |
| Grassrivers Grassrivers | The Everglades | WIDELY READ Wetlands region widely read as the Everglades; Dexerto calls it 'not an exact recreation'. |
| Port Gellhorn Port Gellhorn | Panama City, Florida | FAN MATCH Rockstar calls it 'Leonida's forgotten coast'; the GTA 6 Mapping Project and outlets point to Panama City. |
| Ambrosia sugar refinery Ambrosia | U.S. Sugar refinery, Clewiston | FAN MATCH Dexerto: Ambrosia looks like a mix of Lake Okeechobee towns, with the refinery resembling Clewiston's. |
The Six Regions at a Glance
- Vice City: Miami. Rockstar's own framing, and the one connection nobody disputes.
- Leonida Keys: the Florida Keys. Island chain, bridges, and the setting of Jason's backstory.
- Grassrivers: the Everglades, by geography and wildlife. See our Everglades vs Grassrivers comparison.
- Port Gellhorn: the Panhandle's "Forgotten Coast". Rockstar's own phrase is "Leonida's forgotten coast".
- Ambrosia: inland sugar country around Lake Okeechobee.
- Mount Kalaga National Park: no consensus match yet, so it has no pin until there's a sourced one.
After launch, we'll add pins from the released map and keep the same three labels. More comparisons are on the Real Florida hub.

HOW WE SOURCED THIS
Region-level links come from Rockstar's own descriptions. Landmark matches are credited to the outlet that made them (Dexerto, and Beebom citing the GTA 6 Mapping Project). We haven't verified them on the ground or in the game, and they'll be rechecked against the released map.
