These are names, not places. Nothing published states where any boundary falls, so this page shows no map — the shape is exactly what is contested below.
Evidence grade
- OfficialStated by the publisher in its own material.
- Shown, not statedVisible in published material but never stated.
- Community reconstructionAssembled by an outside project from published material.
- Leak / data-minedCirculating from an unpublished source. Never evidence on its own.
- DisputedTwo readings disagree and neither has been settled.
- Still openNobody has answered it yet.
A grade reflects how solid the evidence is that something exists or is as described. It is not a statement about quality, size or importance, and a leak graded low may still turn out to be right.

Disputed claim — two sides
CLM-006The extent of Mount Kalaga National Park
A larger parkCommunity reconstruction
The published name suggests a national park, and a reading of the terrain places it across the northern highlands.
Community reconstruction · 20 Aug 2026
A smaller parkDisputed
A competing reading confines it to the central mountains, and notes that nothing published states a boundary either way.
Contesting reading · 21 Aug 2026
Leak status
Circulated 18 August 2026
Gameplay clips and a purported complete map of the state circulated from an outside group.
A fan mapping project that has cross-referenced the geography since 2022 disputes the image, and no published material corroborates it.
The publisher has pursued takedowns of the material.
We report the dispute. The material is not hosted, reproduced or linked from this page, and no claim here rests on it alone.
Source trail — 5 linked
Reconstruction credit
The community readings on this page are the work of outside projects that have cross-referenced published material for years. Where a row says "community reconstruction", that is theirs, not ours.
We run no mapping project of our own, and this page hosts no reconstruction.
No ownership is claimed over any community work. Each reading is linked to where it was reported.
What changes when it is published
The moment the publisher states a boundary, all of the following happen — and the old grade stays visible in each claim history.
- Regrade every claim the statement touches.
- Replace the inferred column with the published wording.
- Record the date, and what moved, in the change log.
- Publish an accuracy report saying what we had wrong.
- Keep every superseded grade in the claim history.
What the next showing could settle
Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look — 27 August 2026
- Whether the northern highlands are inside the national park (CLM-006).
- Whether the Keys are one chain or several (CLM-007).
- Whether a rail system exists in the shipped world (CLM-008).
- Whether anything under the water can be entered (CLM-009).
