About this map

Coastal development and military infrastructure define this coastal area where the Río de Bayamón meets the Ensenada de Boca Vieja. The landscape reflects a transition from industrial and utility sites, such as the Planta Termoelectrica de Palo Seco, to large-scale residential projects like Levittown. Extensive military and communications facilities are prominent throughout, including the Fort Mascaro U.S.A.F. Mil. Res. on the Pta Salinas peninsula and the sprawling US Naval Radio Station (R) Sabana Seca.

South of the bay, the terrain rises toward Monte de Santa Ana, with the urban core of Bayamón showing significant growth. Institutional landmarks are well-represented, from the Puerto Rico National Cemetery to educational centers like the Interamerican University and The Baldwin Sch. Smaller settlements and barrios, including Sabana Seca, Candelaria, and Juan Sanchez, are connected by a dense network of roads and waterways, including the winding Cienaga de las Cucharillas.
