2013 Map of Cabo Rojo

About this map

El Faro de Cabo Rojo stands as a sentinel at the southwestern tip of the Island of Puerto Rico, overlooking the Caribbean Sea in this 2013 survey. The landscape is defined by its dramatic coastal geography, where the Corozo Salt Flats and the crescent-shaped Bahia Salinas meet the limestone cliffs of Cabo Rojo. Inland, the terrain rises toward the rugged heights of Sierra Bermeja and Peñones de Melones, framing a region where maritime activity and local agriculture converge. The small settlements of El Combate and Pole Ojea are connected by a network of local roads like PR-301, which winds through the coastal lowlands toward the historic lighthouse. From the sheltered waters of Bahia Sucia to the reefs of Bajo Casabe, the map reveals a coastline shaped by both natural forces and traditional industry, particularly the salt harvesting areas that have defined this corner of the municipality for generations.
