Mapping Los Santos! Building/landmark analysis

[HoboDealer]

I'm starting to really wonder where the f*ck North Yankton is.

 

These three shots show that the east coast doesn't extend any further than we think it does.

And this shot alludes to the fact that the west coast doesn't extend further either.

I'm starting to think that postcard was added to the site as a troll. Or the snowy area is so small that we haven't seen it yet, which would be weird.

I'm wondering exactly the same dude, it has to be somewhere, surely it can't be a troll?

 

But apart from at the top of a mountain somewhere, I can't see anywhere it fits onto any of the maps made here!

Halfway up Chiliad is my best guess, we've only really seen the peak of it in detail, there's a lot of the east side which hasn't been shown.

If I'm not mistaken I think this is the east side of Mt Chilliad on the NE part of the map

The side of the Mount Chiliad you are seeing is the north side. The farmland you can see between the two roads attach to the Paleto screencap.

I noticed a new screen (to me at least) in the 2nd part of the gtavoclock The Benz interview.

It looks like it shows the carwash and the paper building in franklin's hood.

Actually I think this is the north slope, as Paleto is at the NW end of Chiliad and this spot is right after Paleto.

It is but there's also a huge valley which runs up between the north east and south east sides, you can see the cloud intersecting with it here:

Friends,

 

If this is true, then we have got the map perimeter.

Ah yeah I see it!

 

But the means that it should be just at the bottom of this image and there's no snow here at all!

Great work mappers, and namely fido, the outline is almost a 1 on 1 copy.

Where the f*ck does that come from?

Leaked achievement list..

Congratulations mappers, your map was almost 100% accurate

[hhamzah99]

holy sh*t the map was so f*cking accurate o.o

[alex3]

 

 

[HoleInTheSky]

Blimey, it was as well. Not that I doubted it, just wow, good work.

[lxr]

 

Oh, shït...

[Elusory]

Wow i cant believe that your map is so accurate, holy sh*t

 

[HoleInTheSky]

Bigger version bottom part is f*cked, small image.

 

[Darth Mike]

I don't know if it is the whole map.

We have an image which say that Zancuro River comes from Mexico. So, the game map has a connection with Mexico boundary.

But that achievement image would make suppose that Los Santos and Blaine County are on an island, so that is not the whole map.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/gr...v/achievements/ here is the leaked list of achievements for GTA V onXbox 360. On the achievement "San Andreas Sightseer", there is an outline of Los Santos and Blaine County as the thumbnail. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BR0n1FdCMAE4P9k.png:large

 

[Thecrazypolak]

All around great job for the boys that worked really hard mapping, you honestly made this thread my favorite! You guys were almost 100% accurate

[Demain]

Yep, well done to all the mappers, looks like you've done a brilliant job!

[xXTRUSTYXx]

so this leaked achievement list and the map outline is already 100% legit?

feels wrong

[Distrom]

These nearly 2 years of hard working were worth the time, you guys got the outline almost perfect.

[Found_Again]

Round of applause please.

[KawakSallas]

So there's nothing south. I'm bit disapointed, I was expecting something hidden.

By the way, for all the mappers. Outstanding job. Probably the second best Thread in the story of this forums, apart from Genesis, of course.

[THUNDER-TRUMP]

Judging by the los santos' peninsula' at the bottom of the map

and the extent it stretches out to at the top

 

THE MAP IS FXING MAHOOSIVE!
