L.A. Noire Map: 1947 Los Angeles and Every Landmark
📅 Checked on
L.A. Noire recreates Los Angeles in 1947 as an open world of about 8 square miles, larger than GTA IV's Liberty City. The map is dotted with 30 real landmarks of the period, from Grauman's Chinese Theatre and Union Station to Angels Flight and the giant Intolerance film set, and finding all of them unlocks the Star Map achievement.
How Big Is the L.A. Noire Map?
About 8 square miles, according to the L.A. Noire Wiki and Kotaku, which both compare it with GTA IV's 6 square miles. The city is built from 1940s Los Angeles, and most of the game's landmarks are real monuments of the time.
