2018 Map of Carolina

About this map

Carolina and the eastern edge of San Juan dominate this 2018 coastal survey, where the urban grid meets the intricate lagoons and wetlands of the Island of Puerto Rico. The landscape is defined by the massive infrastructure of the Luis Munoz Marin International Airport and a series of prominent coastal points including Punta Maldonado and Punta Vacía Talega. Significant residential and industrial expansion is evident around Santa Bárbara and San Isidro, yet the region maintains its connection to the sea through Aviones Beach and Playa Torrecillas Pinones. The Rio Grande De Loiza and Rio Canóvanas snake through the lowlands, bordered by numerous caños like Caño Zequeira and Caño Palúdica. Local heritage is anchored by sites such as the Cementerio Municipal de Carolina and the inland hills of Los Cerros del Comandante, illustrating the balance between modern metropolitan growth and the island's natural hydrological systems.
