About this map

Fajardo serves as the focal point for this coastal survey of northeast Puerto Rico, showing the town and its maritime infrastructure in the early 21st century. The coastline is defined by significant nautical hubs, including Puerto del Rey Marina to the south and Puerto Chico Marina further north. These facilities, along with the Diego Jimenez Torres Airport and the larger Jose Aponte de la Torre Airport near Ceiba, illustrate the region's importance as a transportation and tourism gateway.

Away from the developed corridors of PR 3, the terrain rises toward the interior mountains. Numerous watercourses such as the Rio Juan Martín and Quebrada Fajardo drain the foothills, while the northeast corner is characterized by ecological features like Laguna Grande and the bioluminescent waters near Las Croabas. Local settlements like Ramos, Playa Fortuna, and Luquillo are mapped in detail, showing the modern footprint of these historic communities.
