About this map

Barranquitas serves as the central hub of this interior Puerto Rican landscape, where the town’s layout is deeply intertwined with the steep mountain terrain of the Island of Puerto Rico. The map highlights important local landmarks like the Mausoleo Familia de Muñoz Rivera, reflecting the area's significance in political and cultural history. To the southeast, the urban development of Aibonito begins to emerge, while the northern and southern reaches are defined by a complex network of waterways including the Río de Barranquitas and Río Coamo.

High peaks such as Cerro Farallón and the Montañas de Juan González dictate the winding paths of local roads like Carretera Bernardi. Geologists and historians will note the dramatic rift of the Canón de San Cristóbal, a major geographic feature on the boundary between Barranquitas and Aibonito. The map also records numerous family-named roads and sectors, such as Sector El Tigre, offering a detailed view of contemporary land use and settlement patterns.
