About this map

Cordillera Central defines the heart of the Puerto Rican interior in this survey, showcasing some of the highest peaks on the island. The terrain is marked by significant elevations including Cerro de Punta, Monte Jayuya, and Cerro Maravillas, where the steep slopes give rise to numerous headwaters and waterfalls. The settlement of Jayuya sits along the Rio Grande de Jayuya, serving as a central hub for the surrounding rural communities of Anon Raices and Villalba.

Water features are prominent throughout the landscape, from the high-altitude Lago El Guineo to the striking drops of Salto de Dona Juana and Salto de Inabon. The map traces a complex network of island routes such as PR-143 and PR-141, which navigate the winding ridgelines and connect these isolated mountain towns. This data provides an essential view of the island's backbone before modern infrastructure altered many traditional rural pathways.
