2024 Map of Isla de Mona

About this map

Isla de Mona rises from the Mona Passage as a distinct limestone plateau, positioned where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea. This modern topographic survey illustrates the island's coastal geography, dominated by steep cliffs and strategic maritime points like Cabo Noroeste and Cabo Barrionuevo. The western and southern shores provide the primary access points to the interior, with small beaches and landings such as Playa Sardinera and the Anclaje Isabela serving as key nautical landmarks. The southern coastline is particularly detailed, showing the relationship between rocky features like Piedra del Carabinero and the sandy stretches of Playa Uvero. This map is an essential reference for understanding the physical isolation and natural preservation of this uninhabited island between Puerto Rico and Hispaniola.
