2013 Map of Isla De Vieques West OE S

About this map

Isla de Vieques rises from the Caribbean Sea in this topographical profile of its western reaches. The landscape is defined by its significant elevations, most notably the peak of Monte Pirata and the neighboring Cerro El Buey. Along the northern coast, a series of coastal lagoons including Laguna El Pobre, Laguna Arenas, and Laguna Kiani provide a detailed look at the island's hydrologic character before the land meets the sea at Punta Arenas. The southern shoreline is marked by Punta Vaca and the waters of Laguna Playa Grande. To the east, the map traces the drainage patterns of Quebrada Pilón and Quebrada Urbano, while the small settlement at Playa Grande represents the human footprint in this predominantly natural environment. The survey documents the intricate contouring of the island's western interior and its relationship to the surrounding marine boundary.
