The game is set in the fictitious city of Palmont. There are three major canyons: East, West, and Carbon Canyons. A major coastal metropolis area covers the southwestern part of the city. There are also some major rivers and a lake near Carbon Canyon. The city is divided into four distinct boroughs at the beginning of the game, Kempton (South Side), Downtown, Fortuna (West Side/Suburban Palmont), and Silverton (Resort/Casino Area, North Side). One for each of the major crews. However, when you complete the career mode, Palmont is no longer divided, because all of the city is the player's territory. There is a highway system that goes down the middle of the city around all of Palmont. The city is featured in the massively multiplayer online racing game Need for Speed: World, along with Rockport of Most Wanted.
