How to read the layers
OFFICIALRegions described or shown in official material.
LEAKDivisions mentioned in articles about a leaked map. Not confirmed.
RUMORFan layer: neighborhoods and reconstructions. Not an official map.

Everything people say about the map
A GTA map has three kinds of information: what Rockstar showed, what leaked and what fans put together. Here each one gets its own label. No mixing.
OFFICIAL
The six regions Rockstar has shown
Six areas appear in official images and descriptions.
More and source
According to GTABase, these appear in official images and descriptions: Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga. (about what you can see)
InterpretationThe split into counties (Vice-Dale, Mariana, Kelly, Ambrosia, Leonard) is the site's own assembly, built from signs and from the leak.
Still to confirm: The position of each area on the map is not official.
TIPAppearing in an official image does not say where the area sits on the map.

LEAK
The leaked map: what we know
In August a map attributed to a leaker went around.
Not confirmed: this reports what the press says about a leak. We never use the leaked material.
More and source
In August a map attributed to the leaker CyberLeek went around, with five counties: Lummox, Kelly, Leonard, Vice-Dale and Mariana. The Game Post says the origin is unverified and the image looks like a fan reconstruction. GTABase says it would come from an old development build and may change.
Still to confirm: No one has confirmed whether this map is right.
TIPThis magazine does not show or link to the file. Only the reporting.

Not confirmed: information going around, with no confirmation from Rockstar.
More and source

THEORY
Gloriana: the second state that may not exist
The name appears on license plates in Trailer 2.
A guess or an interpretation, not a confirmation.
More and source
The name Gloriana appears on license plates in Trailer 2 and in screenshots, and that is where the idea of a second state in the game came from.
InterpretationAfter the leak, GTABase concluded that the name only appears on a plate and is not a place in the game. Gloriana Key would be Vice City's 'Virginia Key'.
Still to confirm: No confirmation from Rockstar.
HOLD YOUR HORSESA name on a plate does not make a border on the map.
