Flint County is a county appearing in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, located in the state of San Andreas. It makes up the southwestern portion of the map, and is connected to the remaining land masses by numerous bridges. To the east of Flint County is Los Santos and Red County, to the north is San Fierro, and to the west is Whetstone. Flint County is the least populated area in San Andreas, and has no towns, yet is one of the largest counties in the state.
Description[]
Flint County is characterized by its rugged terrain. Back o Beyond, which includes the entire southern half of the county, is hilly and virtually uninhabited except for a couple gas stations and trailer parks. There are a few farms in the northern and western parts, and most of the northern part is mountainous and difficult to cross off-road.
A creek separates Flint County and Whetstone, while Flint Water, the Los Santos Inlet, and an unnamed river form the border with Los Santos and Red County.
Events in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
After Carl Johnson has spent a while in the countryside, Frank Tenpenny shows up again in Angel Pine, in the U Get Inn Motel, this time to introduce Carl Johnson to The Truth, a weed-growing hippie that provides illicit narcotics to the corrupt C.R.A.S.H. officers. Carl, ordered by Tenpenny to pay The Truth the cash that is owed to him for a recent transaction, is indentured into service to The Truth in order to pay off the "debt". His first task is to steal a combine harvester from a group of right-wing fanatics occupying The Farm in northern Flint County, and return it to The Truth. Eventually, Carl must assist The Truth in destroying a large crop of marijuana that has been discovered by the authorities. Immediately after destroying the crops and shooting down the patrolling helicopter, the two men drive to San Fierro in The Truth's hippie bus nicknamed the Mothership, with three tons of marijuana in tow, opening the next chapter in the storyline.
Influence[]
The southern coast of Flint County is based on the California Central Coast including the Gaviota Tunnel. The rugged interior of Back o' Beyond is similar to Yosemite and Kings Canyon National Parks, while the landscape north of Back o' Beyond appears more influenced by the rural Santa Cruz Mountains south of San Francisco.
