2018 Map of Central La Plata

About this map

Central La Plata and the surrounding highlands of western Puerto Rico are defined by a complex network of canyons and peaks along the municipal borders of San Sebastián, Moca, Añasco, Mayagüez, and Las Marías. This 2018 survey illustrates the varied terrain of the region, where numerous streams like Quebrada El Salto and Quebrada Grande carve through the landscape toward the Island of Puerto Rico interior. The settlement of La Curena sits amidst these prominent summits, which include Cerro Pelao and Cerro Gordo. Modern transportation routes such as PR-111 and PR-109 provide access through these steep elevations. Notable peaks like Cerro Tirano and Cerro Goden anchor the southern portion of the quadrangle, while the northern reaches are crisscrossed by watercourses like Quebrada de las Damas and Quebrada de Loro, reflecting the intricate hydrography that has shaped local agriculture and settlement patterns.
