About this map

Coamo stands as the central hub in this survey, showcasing its urban core and industrial infrastructure, including a Purification Plant and Wastewater Treatment Plant. The landscape south of the town transitions from the developed Town Limit toward established agricultural and residential sites such as Hacienda Buena Vista and Hacienda Esmeralda. Historical sites are prominent near the Coamo River, most notably the Ruins of the Coamo Baths, a location long associated with the area's thermal springs.

The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Salinas Training Area used by the Puerto Rico National Guard, bordered by the dramatic heights of the Central Mountain Range. Rural life is evidenced by scattered settlements like San Diego and Sabana Hoyos, alongside educational landmarks such as Escuela Quebrada Grande. Steep topography is defined by peaks like Cerro Presidio and Cerro Pío Juan, while the Río Nigua and Río Majada drain the southern slopes toward the coast.
