About this map

Fajardo serves as the focal point of this northeastern coastal survey, divided into sectors like Pueblo Norte, Pueblo Este, and Pueblo Sur. The landscape transitions from the developed harbor at Puerto Real and Playa de Fajardo to the dense, protected elevations of the Caribbean National Forest and Sierra de Luquillo in the southwest. Along the coast, the geography is defined by prominent headlands like Cabezas de San Juan and the reef-protected waters of Ensenada Yegua and Laguna Grande.

Coastal settlements such as Luquillo and Sardinera are linked by the C Brewer road, illustrating the mid-century infrastructure connecting these fishing and agricultural hubs. Notable local landmarks include the Antena de Radio (WMDD) and the sprawling Roosevelt Roads Naval Reservation at the southern edge. Inland, the map captures a rural character with scattered schools like Escuela Rio Chiquito and numerous watercourses like the Rio Fajardo draining the northern peaks.
