Where Grassrivers sits on the GTA 6 map
On community maps, Grassrivers spans the southern mainland of Leonida between Vice City on the Atlantic coast and the Gulf shore to the west, bordered by the sugar fields of Ambrosia to the north and the island bridges of the Leonida Keys to the south. Interstate 97 skirts the eastern edge of the swamp on its way down to Hamlet, while the pier village of Watson Bay sits along the southwestern mangrove coast with a distant view of the Vice City skyline across the glades.
Swamp wildlife, airboats, and Watson Bay
On the Only in Leonida tour, Rockstar says the gators may be the most famous attraction in the Grassrivers, but "there are far deadlier predators and weirder discoveries among the mangroves." Official screenshots and the August 2026 gameplay showcase An Extended Look feature airboats skimming over flooded sawgrass, mud-splattered hunters posing with a dead gator and bobcat, and sheriff cruisers and a helicopter pursuing a pickup truck through shallow marshland.
On the edge of the wetlands stands Watson Bay, a quiet waterfront settlement built on wooden stilts beneath a painted water tower. According to Rockstar's Ultimate Edition page, Watson Bay is home to the player-owned Paradise Garage, which comes with a weapon locker, a stash for stolen goods, and a custom '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy.
The Florida Everglades connection
Grassrivers is modeled directly on the Florida Everglades, inverting the real park's famous nickname, the "River of Grass." Community researchers also note that Watson Bay blends the stilt-house architecture of Cedar Key with the Gulf-coast geography of Everglades City and Chokoloskee. You can compare Grassrivers with the other five regions in our GTA 6 regions guide.
