Overview

Mount Josiah is a rugged mountain in western Blaine County, San Andreas. It stands immediately north of Fort Zancudo, west of the Alamo Sea, and between the military base, Lago Zancudo and the rural settlements around Harmony and the Grand Senora Desert. It is smaller and less heavily developed than Mount Chiliad, but its position makes it useful as a natural landmark, a navigation aid and a high vantage point over the western side of the map.

Unlike Fort Zancudo, Mount Josiah is not a walled facility, town or commercial district. It is best understood as a natural outdoor area made up of steep slopes, exposed rock, dirt paths, scrubland and a few ledges. The mountain itself has little permanent development. Most of the significant named places associated with it are neighbouring locations rather than parts of the mountain proper.

Its most important Story Mode function is collectible hunting. A Spaceship Part is placed high on the mountain, while a peyote plant can be found on one of its paths. The mountain is also useful for escaping roads, reaching elevated viewpoints and approaching the western edge of Fort Zancudo, although entering the base remains a separate activity with its own military response.
