The '''Mombasa Mapping Project''' aims to cross-reference both in-game and supplementary material to attempt to make sense of Mombasa's regional structure.

**''Sadie's Story'' also repeatedly refers to locations visited across ODST's gameplay as part of the City center, meaning that the locations seen in the various levels including Mombasa Streets are part of the City center.


==Discrepancies==
==Discrepancies==
*'''Mombasa''' - The entire city has been quite radically redesigned several times with the island portion of the city being seen in different configurations and designs. See the above collection of overheads and maps to see these drastic design differences
*'''New Mombasa 105 E Bridge''' - The large cable-stayed bridge seen in ''Halo 2''/''Halo 2: Anniversary'' is slightly different in design from the one seen in ''Spartan Strike''. Notable issues include width and and differences in median (the one in ''Halo 2''/''Halo 2: Anniversary'' features a metal median while the one in ''Spartan Strike'' is glass).

*'''Mombasa Tether''' - Mombasa Tether has been shown to be on it's own island, shown to be a part of either the mainland, or part of Mombasa island itself. The tether itself has varied quite a bit.
*'''Mombasa Tether''' - Mombasa Tether has bee shown to be on it's own island and shown to be a part of either the mainland or Mombasa island itself. Due to these placement differences, it's placement in the skyline in FPS games is often contradictory to other media.
*'''Section 21''' - Many details of Section 21 are quite inconsistent with other incarnations of the city. For one, what is supposed to be Uplift Reserve is incredibly close. The skyline's orientation also doesn't quite make sense relative to the compass.
*'''Makupa-Hope''' - In ''Sadie's Story'', from [[Kikowani Station]], Sadie boards a train that stops at [[Makupa]], [[Nairobi Road]] and [[Hope Station]] before terminating at the suburb of [[Magongo]]. In ''Halo Infinite'', the map [[Streets]] portrays Makupa Station and Hope Station as mutual interchanges, with both stations being accessible from the same entrance. There are several possibilities as to why the line would seemingly loop around on itself before leaving Mombasa: Since Streets takes place post-war, it could represent a completely new transit system with a new layout that isn't relevant to Sadie's experience. An alternate explanation is that Sadie boarded a train on a commuter rail network distinct from the [[New Mombasa MagLev train network]]. Evidence for this includes the fact that her train is dispatched by a conductor (unusual for an urban rapid transit system), and the fact that her train terminates in a distant suburb with very few stops in-between. In this hypothesis, the Makupa and Hope Stations that Sadie would pass through are distinct from the Makupa and Hope stations on the Mombasa [=MagLev=].
