About this map

Ciales and Morovis anchor this interior region of the Island of Puerto Rico, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of mountain streams and sharp peaks. The terrain is marked by numerous named cerros, including Cerro de la Bandera and Cerro Avispa, which rise above the deep valleys of the Rio Grande de Manati drainage. The 2013 survey illustrates the modern road network, including PR 149 and PR 155, connecting these highland communities.

Local hydrologic features like Quebrada Grande de Morovis and Quebrada Ventana demonstrate the high drainage density of the central cordillera. Notable landmarks such as La Chorrera and various named mountain summits provide essential reference points for understanding the topography. The map also delineates several municipal boundaries, such as the Ciales Morovis line, which follows the intricate ridgelines and watercourses of the district.
