About this map

Guayama serves as the focal point for this coastal survey of southeastern Puerto Rico, where the southern plains meet the Caribbean Sea. The landscape is defined by the legacy of the sugar industry, prominently featuring Central Lafayette and Central Machete, landmarks that anchor the agricultural and industrial history of the region. The coastal margin is intricately mapped, showing the transition from urban centers like Arroyo and Patillas to natural features such as Playa Las Palmas and the Punta Guilarte Beach.

Hydrological networks including Río Guamaní and Río Nigua descend from the northern hills toward the coast, passing through smaller settlements like Olimpo and Corazón. Marine navigation and recreation are highlighted by the presence of Puerto Arroyo, Puerto Patillas, and the Balneario de Arroyo. For those studying the regional infrastructure of the early 21st century, the map details a dense road network featuring Avenida Los Veteranos and the utility of the Patillas Airport.
