Major Details to Know About the GTA 6 Mapping Project

The Grand Theft Auto 6 buzz has been mounting over the years, and in the meantime,
Rockstar Games
have been silent about the details for the most part. But the loyal fans of the series have not been sitting idly and have been connecting the dots of the game's map. The outcome? The ambitious
GTA 6 Mapping Project
that has been driven by the fans, which is not just amazing, but also somewhat disturbing. Here's a deep dive into seven of the most significant takeaways from this passion project.
A Fan-Made Duplicate of Vice City
It can be safely said that the GTA 6 Mapping Project is one of the earliest and most rabid fan efforts the world has ever seen. The game enthusiasts pieced together the scraps of the picture – shots that were leaked, scenes from the trailer, and even things as imperceptibly as cloud shapes – and faithfully recreated the world of
Vice City
and its environs. By blending the old in-game coordinates with the new trailer footage, they have constructed something that is very close to a feature we can expect in the game's final form. It is like a digital jigsaw, yet everything fits perfectly.

The World Is Vast and Expanding at an Alarming Rate
The size of the map has significantly increased with the addition of each piece of information, including the new trailer and the leaks. What once were probably just rough outlines have grown into the enormous world of Leonida (a name that was made up by the fans) that has even as the main area Vice City. From the lovely beaches to the crammed swamps, there is a large span of the earth that covers a lot of grounds.

Major Airports
Among the numerous outstanding features of the map is the high flying attention that has been given to air travel. The GTA 6 map will in all likelihood contain at least three main airports, with Vice City International Airport being the focal point. In addition to them, the map predicts that there will be air force bases in Port Gellhorn and Leonida Keys. Placing these places at the outskirts of the city, Rockstar hints, players will have to explore their world and they are expected to travel long distances from one location to another.
Yorktown: The Mysterious Northwestern Area
The Yorktown region is the location of one of the most mysterious areas of the map, placed on the northwestern side of the Leonida region. If it's true that it was one of the fan-made outlines initially, then the company's discretion will be fully responsible for any details regarding the area. Literally, all we know about the place is its name and a reduced sketch of the area. The importance of Yorktown is still a question mark, confirming its inaccessibility to the players and thus suggesting it could be a significant but veiled part of the map.

Port Gellhorn: A Growing Focus
Another development in the project is the high-profile Port Gellhorn. It was not a striking place earlier, but it is now being envisaged as a major location. Port Gellhorn, due to its coastal location and access to airbases, can be engaged as a highly strategic and essential point for the implementation of missions, transportation, and story events. One of the signs of the area's centrality to the game seems to be its growing influence as the map unfolds.
The Northern Boundary Mystery
The northernmost part of the map is still a mystery to most people. Initially, it was rumored that the map would expand and include these areas; however, recent updates hint that this part of the map will not be open to players. This might signal that a boundary for story or gameplay has been purposely drawn by Rockstar, or it might be something that Rockstar has deliberately not tackled, possibly meaning that the story will continue on.

The heads behind the project include new towns, roads, and any other natural features in their list of assets regularly. And as they do that, we only get a sneak peek into the beauty of Rockstar's new world.
