GTA 6 Full Leonida Map Leaked — All 5 Counties and New Locations Revealed
Source transparency: All information on GTA 6 Vault is sourced from Rockstar's official trailers, press releases, and Take-Two investor communications. Sections that go beyond confirmed facts are clearly labelled as our own analysis.
About This Map
On August 18, 2026, the group calling itself CYBERLEEK released images of what is claimed to be the complete map of Leonida alongside two gameplay clips. The GTA mapping community — which has spent years analysing every official screenshot and trailer frame — cross-referenced the leaked map against all publicly confirmed geography and found it consistent with everything Rockstar has officially shown to date: coastlines, the Keys island chain, the position of Vice City's urban core, and road layout visible in both trailers.
That consistency does not make this the definitive final map. The material appears to date from a 2023 development build. Boundaries, county names, location names, and even geography could have changed in the years since. But for the first time, the GTA 6 community has a coherent picture of how Leonida fits together as a whole.
Read this article with that context in mind. These are the locations and counties as they existed in 2023. What ships on November 19, 2026 could be similar, identical, or different in meaningful ways.
Five Counties — One New
Rockstar has officially confirmed the state of Leonida as the game's setting. The leaked map reveals Leonida appears to be divided into five named counties:
- Lummox County
- Kelly County
- Leonard County
- Vice-Dale County
- Mariana County
An additional Ambrosia County was previously identified in officially released Rockstar materials, though it does not appear as a separate named region on the leaked map as described by those who have analysed it closely. It may exist within one of the five above, or the mapping may reflect an earlier division of the state before Ambrosia County was formally defined in development.
The most significant new name is Lummox County, which has not appeared in any previous Rockstar-released GTA 6 material. Its name and position within the map were entirely unknown before August 18.
Vice City's Position on the Map
Rockstar's official trailers and press materials confirmed Vice City's return and its Miami-inspired identity. The leaked map shows Vice City occupying much of the southeastern portion of Leonida, consistent with how Miami sits at the southeastern tip of Florida.
Vice City sits within or adjacent to Vice-Dale County, the name suggesting the urban area merges with a more suburban or outlying region. The county name itself evokes both Vice City and the kind of mid-Florida county naming that blends city and rural identity — Broward County, Miami-Dade County, and similar real Florida counties are clear inspiration.
The large urban footprint of Vice City on the map confirms what Rockstar has suggested: this is not simply the relatively compact 2002 Vice City map updated for modern hardware. The city appears considerably larger, with distinct urban zones, waterways, and an extensive road network feeding into the wider state.
Airports and Infrastructure
The leaked map shows a large airport near Vice City. This is consistent with a Miami-inspired setting — Miami International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the United States and sits just west of the city centre.
A second airfield is visible further along the southern island chain — the Keys equivalent in Leonida. A smaller facility than the main Vice City airport, this second airfield could serve as a functional aerial access point for the lower keys area, a location for small plane or helicopter missions, or simply as part of the world's geographic authenticity.
Whether or not players can use these airports for travel, or whether they serve exclusively as mission-relevant locations, has not been confirmed.
New Named Locations
The leaked map introduces several location names that have not appeared in any official GTA 6 material before August 18. These are the most notable:
Catalan Bay
A coastal location whose name suggests a bay or inlet area. The Catalan prefix could be a reference to Catalina Island off the coast of Los Angeles — a location that appeared in GTA: San Andreas — or simply a fictional Florida-flavoured place name with no direct reference. Its position on the map would help determine whether it is a water access point, a residential coastal area, or something else.
Catalan Key
A separate named key (island) from Catalan Bay, suggesting the two are geographically linked — a bay and the island associated with it, similar to how real Florida Keys have named bays and named islands in proximity to each other.
Dalton Island
An island location within the Leonida Keys chain. The Keys in GTA 6 appear to be one of the most geographically distinctive regions of the map — a long chain of small islands connected by roads and bridges, echoing the Florida Keys' famous Overseas Highway.
Gloriana Key
Previously, some community speculation suggested a Gloriana State might exist as a separate region within or adjacent to Leonida. The leaked map appears to dispel this — there is no Gloriana State visible. Instead, Gloriana Key is an island within the Keys chain. The name is likely inspired by Virginia Key, a real island in Biscayne Bay near Miami.
Tequesta Retreat
Tequesta is the name of a real Florida town — a small municipality in Palm Beach County, named after the Tequesta people who originally inhabited the area. Tequesta Retreat in GTA 6's Leonida suggests a location styled as an upscale or secluded retreat area — the kind of gated community or resort destination that would fit GTA 6's satirical take on Florida wealth and leisure culture.
The Scale Question: How Big Is Leonida?
The most common question following any leaked map image is always the same: how big is it?
From the leaked imagery alone, precise scale cannot be determined. The map shows significant geographic variety — a major urban core in Vice City, extensive rural and wilderness areas across the north and west of the state, a long island chain in the south, and what appears to be swampland and coastal terrain in between.
Rockstar's official materials have described GTA 6 as the "biggest, most immersive evolution of the GTA series yet." Our existing map size comparison article covers what Rockstar's confirmed statements imply about scale relative to GTA 5.
The leaked map is consistent with a world significantly larger than GTA 5's Los Santos and Blaine County. Leonida appears to have genuine depth in every direction — it is not simply a large city with a fringe of countryside, but a diverse state with regions that feel meaningfully different from one another.
What Was Confirmed Before and What Is New
To be clear about what this leak adds versus what was already known:
Already confirmed by Rockstar before August 18:
- State of Leonida as the setting
- Vice City's return, Miami-inspired setting
- Keys island chain geography
- Swampland, beaches, suburban, and urban environments
- Ambrosia County name (appeared in official materials)
New as of August 18 leak:
- Five named counties: Lummox, Kelly, Leonard, Vice-Dale, Mariana
- Lummox County — entirely new, not previously identified
- Vice City's precise southeastern position on the full map
- Airport locations (main Vice City airport + Keys airfield)
- Catalan Bay, Catalan Key, Dalton Island, Gloriana Key, Tequesta Retreat
- Clarification that Gloriana Key is an island, not a separate state
- Full visual picture of how rural/wilderness areas connect to Vice City
What Comes Next
Rockstar is presenting GTA VI: An Extended Look on August 27 at 3 PM ET on Netflix, followed by release on YouTube and the GTA VI website. That presentation is the moment when Rockstar gets to show the final version of the world on their own terms.
The leaked map gives the community its first full picture of Leonida — but the Extended Look will show us what the world actually looks, sounds, and feels like to play in. The relationship between the two will tell us a great deal about how much has changed in development since 2023.
For every location named in the leaked map, the August 27 presentation is a chance to see it brought to life. Until then, the names above are placeholders for places most of us will visit properly for the first time on November 19.
