2018 Map of Bayaney

About this map

Bayaney and the eastern edge of Lares occupy a landscape defined by the intricate karst topography of the Island of Puerto Rico. This 2018 survey documents a region where human settlement is deeply intertwined with a complex hydrological network, featuring the winding courses of Rio Camuy, Rio Tanamá, and Rio Angeles. One of the most striking natural features is the Tres Pueblos Sinkhole, a massive collapse structure that exemplifies the limestone geology of the northern highlands. The map provides significant detail for local historians, identifying numerous named roads such as Carr Echegaray and Ave Los Patriotas, alongside several rural burial grounds including Cementerio de Quebrada and Cementerio de Albonito. These landmarks, along with high points like Cerro Palma, illustrate the rugged character of the municipalities of Camuy, Lares, Hatillo, Arecibo, and Utuado.
