Changes: Charge Island

Latest revision as of 21:06, 9 April 2024

Charge Island is an insular neighborhood in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located in the Humboldt River.

Description

Officially part of the borough of Dukes, Charge Island lies between Algonquin to the west, Dukes to the east, and Bohan to the north. The island is predominantly dedicated to industrial activity, hence its name "Charge Island"; flanked by a water treatment facility and overshadowed by the enormous East Borough Bridge, it is decidedly unappealing for residential development. The island also features a boathouse, a cargo dock and a fuel repository, with an oil tanker docked there at the time of GTA IV. A grove traversed by a creek lies on the west coast of the island. A baseball field is located to the north, bounded by the unnamed road that traverses the island.

Influence

Charge Island is based on Randalls and Wards Island but may also draw some inspiration from Bronx Kill, although Bronx Kill is much smaller in real life. The small creek is based on the Little Hell Gate in the middle of the island and the unnamed channel to the east is based on Hell Gate in Astoria.

+==Description==
-'''[[File:ChargeIsland-GTAIV-southwestwards.jpg|thumb|398px|Charge Island in GTA IV, as viewed to the southwest.]]Charge Island''' is a small island, officially part of the borough of [[Dukes]] in the [[Humboldt River]], lying between [[Algonquin]] to the west, Dukes to the east, and [[Bohan]] to the north. Much of the island is in the shadow of the [[East Borough Bridge]] which connects the three boroughs. They have toll booths ($5) that the player must go through, in order to go north to Bohan, or west to Algonquin. Driving through the toll booth without stopping will automatically result with one star added to the players [[wanted level]] (assuming they are not wanted prior to).

-Charge Island is almost entirely dedicated to industrial activity, the enormous East Borough Bridge and water treatment facility make it decidedly unappealing for residential development; in addition to the abovementioned bridge foundations and sewage works, the island features a boathouse, cargo dock and fuel repository, with an oil tanker docked there at the time of [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. The island is featured twice in the game's story, in the missions [[Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend]] and [[Catch the Wave]]. A little forest with a creek is also present in the west part of the island. The small creek is based off the [[wp:Little Hell Gate|Little Hell Gate]] in the middle of the island. The unnamed channel to the east is based of [[wp:Hell Gate|Hell Gate]] in [[wp: Astoria, Queens|Astoria]]. The shorter channel on the northern tip of the island is based[[File:Charge Island location.jpg|thumb|250px|Map of [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] with a red circle to highlight '''Charge Island'''.]] of [[wp:Bronx Kill|Bronx Kill]], though that the Bronx Kill is much smaller in person. Charge Island is based of Randall's Island.
