2018 Map of Isla de Mona

About this map

Isla de Mona stands as a limestone plateau between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, defined by its steep coastal cliffs and remote maritime orientation. This 2018 survey details the western and southern reaches of the island, where the Mona Passage meets the shore at Punta Arenas. The map highlights critical maritime landing points such as Anclaje Sardinera and Anclaje Isabela, which have served as the primary gateways to this isolated environment for centuries. Topographical detail tracks the transition from the high bluffs at Cabo Noroeste and Punta el Capitán down to the coastal levels of Playa Sardinera. From the uniquely named Punta Caigo o no Caigo to the southeastern stretch of Playa Brava, the sheet captures a landscape largely shaped by its natural coastal features and minimal road infrastructure.
