11Overview22Kelly County is a rural county in the western part of Leonida. A westbound Interstate 404 exit sign in Vice City in Trailer 1 (around the 0:51 mark) appears to point toward it; the name is not in Rockstar's website copy or official screenshots, and Rockstar has not published a county map, so its exact position and borders are unconfirmed. In contrast to the dense urban landscape of Vice-Dale County, Kelly County is characterized by open landscapes, agricultural land, swampland, and small towns. It represents the quieter, less developed side of Leonida and a change of pace from Vice City's neon-lit streets.3+Kelly County is a county in Leonida known only from a road sign. A westbound Interstate 404 exit sign in Vice City in Trailer 1 (around the 0:51 mark) appears to point toward it; the name is not in Rockstar's website copy or official screenshots, and Rockstar has not published a county map, so its position, borders and character are unconfirmed (checked September 29, 2026). Rockstar has not linked Port Gellhorn or any other named place to it, and descriptions of Kelly County as a rural county of farmland and swamp rest on real-world geography rather than on anything Rockstar has shown.44Real-World Inspiration66Kelly County draws its inspiration primarily from Collier County and Lee County in southwest Florida. In real life, this region encompasses cities like Naples and Fort Myers, along with large tracts of undeveloped land, including portions of the Everglades and Big Cypress National Preserve. Florida Panhandle communities like Panama City may also have influenced its more rural character. The area is known for its slower pace of life compared to the Miami metropolitan area, with a mix of retirement communities, agricultural operations, and nature preserves.7+Kelly County may be inspired by Collier County and Lee County in southwest Florida.

Vegetation includes mangrove forests, sawgrass marshlands, and stands of cypress trees. The county's western edge has a coastline along the Gulf of Mexico, with quieter beaches that lack the tourist infrastructure found along Vice City's Atlantic coast.13-The I-404 highway passes through Kelly County, connecting it to the rest of Leonida's road network. This highway is the primary route for travelers moving between Vice City and the northwestern territories. Side roads branch off into more remote areas where settlements become sparse and the landscape transitions into true wilderness.15-Port Gellhorn17-Port Gellhorn is the settlement community maps place in Kelly County, though Rockstar has not stated which county Port Gellhorn is in. It is a mid-sized industrial town with a working port facility, fuel storage depots, and blue-collar neighborhoods. Port Gellhorn's economy revolves around shipping, fishing, and light manufacturing, giving it a grittier atmosphere than the more polished coastal towns to the east.19-The town has been visible in trailer footage and official screenshots. This shows a landscape of docks, container yards, and modest residential streets. Port Gellhorn appears to serve as a hub for certain mission types that involve smuggling, cargo theft, and interaction with working-class NPCs.21-Points of Interest23-LocationTypeDescriptionPort GellhornIndustrial townWorking port with shipping facilities, fuel depots, and blue-collar neighborhoodsSwampland areasNatural environmentExpansive wetlands with wildlife, airboat routes, and hidden locationsGulf coast beachesCoastal areaQuieter beaches along the western coastline with less tourist activityI-404 highway corridorTransportationMajor interstate route connecting Kelly County to Vice City beyondAgricultural landRural areaFarms, ranches, and open fields in the interior portions of the county25-Neighboring Counties26-Rockstar has not published a county map, so the directions below are approximate.28-CountyDirectionCharacterVice-Dale CountySoutheastUrban, dense, metropolitanAmbrosia CountyEast / NortheastRural, agriculturalMariana CountySouthCoastal keys and islands30-Wildlife and Environment31-Kelly County's swamplands are home to a variety of wildlife that reflects the real Florida Everglades ecosystem. Alligators, wading birds, and other swamp-dwelling creatures inhabit the wetland areas. The weather in Kelly County tends toward humid subtropical conditions, with regular thunderstorms. No hurricanes had appeared in official material as of August 2026.33-Key Facts3510DetailInformationNameKelly CountyReal-world basisCollier County and Lee County, FloridaLocation in LeonidaWestern region (exact position unconfirmed)CharacterRural, less developed, swamplandMajor settlementPort GellhornMajor roadI-404 highway11+DetailInformationNameKelly CountyReal-world basisPossibly Collier and Lee counties, Florida (unconfirmed)Major roadI-404 highwayWhere the name appearsWestbound Interstate 404 exit sign in Vice City, Trailer 1 (around 0:51)3712Trivia3813Collier County, Florida, is the largest county by land area in the state.
