San Andreas appears to be comprised entirely of islands as the state is surrounded by water, however, several maps throughout the state depict the northern regions ([[Tierra Robada]] and [[Bone County]]) connecting to the mainland. San Andreas is estimated to be 36 square kilometres in size (22.5 square miles), the largest setting in the GTA series. | ||
The state is divided into three cities and five counties, the cities of [[Los Santos]], [[San Fierro]] and [[Las Venturas]], and the counties of [[Red County]], [[Flint County]], [[Whetstone]], [[Tierra Robada]] and [[Bone County]]. | The state is divided into three cities and five counties, the cities of [[Los Santos]], [[San Fierro]] and [[Las Venturas]], and the counties of [[Red County]], [[Flint County]], [[Whetstone]], [[Tierra Robada]] and [[Bone County]]. | ||

Another major road is the [[Harry Gold Parkway]], which runs through the middle of the city and intersects twice with the Julius Thruway and then leads to Los Santos (though it is not called the [[Harry Gold Parkway]] once it leaves the city). At one point in the game, the game's protagonist, Carl Johnson, pulls off an ''Ocean's 11''-esque heist in Caligula's Casino, subsequently fomenting relationships between Carl Johnson and [[Salvatore Leone]]. | ||
