Bone County

Bone County is the desert region spanning the northern and northeastern portions of San Andreas. This arid region is the largest continuous land mass in the entire state, and suffers from frequent sandstorms. The general sentiment is one of rugged isolationism, juxtaposed against the one bustling, sparkling oasis in this vast desert, Las Venturas. Bone County is home to large public works projects, such as Sherman Dam and The Big Ear; tourist traps like Regular Tom; large rock formations like El Castillo del Diablo and Arco del Oeste; ghost towns such as Las Brujas; a quarry; and a top-secret government research facility, Area 69. It is possibly inspired by Nye and Lincoln counties in Nevada while many of the rock formations may be inspired by Arizona, New Mexico and California desert rock formations. Bone County is the second most populated county in San Andreas with a total population of clearly estimated 455, while the most populated county is Red County with a population of 702, while the poorest populated area is Flint County, with a population less than 31.

The radio station K Rose broadcasts from somewhere in this desert, as does the Area 53 radio show, featured on WCTR. On the radio show Gardening with Maurice, a woman from Bone County inquired as to why she can't grow flowers, to which Maurice replied, "Get out of the desert, you moron." Bone County is also home to three myths, namely the mass grave, a serial killer, and UFOs. Some players have also reported ghosts to appear in the area, however this is extremely rare and may be a coding error.

Unnamed area
There is a very tiny town in Bone County that neighbors the outskirts of western Las Venturas. Originally unnamed, in the most recent version of the game it is named Smokey. It has two highways: one connects to the Pilson Intersection and the other, into Julius Thruway North. The unnamed area has a population of 22, and is the least populated community in the game. There is also a portion of the Brown Streak Railroad that cuts right through it. Places of interest include the Big Spread Ranch strip club, Ammu-Nation, a hotdog stand, trailer park, car dealership and truck stop.
