2013 Map of Aguas Buenas

About this map

Aguas Buenas and the surrounding highlands south of San Juan characterize this landscape, where the rugged topography of the Island of Puerto Rico dictates the flow of numerous streams. Tributaries like Quebrada Sonadora and Quebrada de Muertos drain the steep slopes near the Cementerio Municipal Numero Uno, eventually feeding into the larger Rio Grande De Loiza. The transition from urbanized fringes like Boriquen Gardens to the more rural, high-elevation points at Cerro Marquesa and Altos de la Mesa is clearly visible. This 2013 survey illustrates how settlement patterns follow the winding routes and ridgelines, particularly around the northern edges of Caguas and the eastern limits of Guaynabo, where modern development meets the island's interior stream valleys and peaks like Cerro Magueyes.
