About this map

Jayuya sits at the heart of this high-elevation interior landscape, where the Cordillera Central mountain range dictates the flow of numerous waterways like the Rio Grande de Jayuya and Rio Saliente. The map documents the town's central institutional footprint, including the Cementerio Municipal de Jayuya and the Universidad Metropolitana Jayuya. Elevations reach their peak at Cerro de Punta, surrounded by other prominent landmarks such as Monte Jayuya and Cerro Maravillas.

Remote residential areas and rural sectors are accessible via a network of named local roads, including Barrio El Salto and Cam La Cienaga. To the south and east, the terrain transitions toward the municipalities of Villalba and Anon Raices, featuring the high-altitude Lago El Guineo. The intricate drainage pattern is defined by dozens of creeks like Quebrada La Mina and Quebrada Doña Juana, reflecting the complex hydrology of Puerto Rico's mountainous backbone.
