2024 Map of Jayuya

About this map

Jayuya occupies the valley floor of the Río Grande de Jayuya, surrounded by the high-elevation peaks of the Cordillera Central. This survey captures the intricate topography of the island's interior, where the Cementerio Municipal Jayuya and the neighboring settlement of Santa Bárbara sit against the steep ascent toward Monte Jayuya. The landscape is defined by its verticality, with mountain landmarks like Los Tres Picachos and Cerro Maravillas looming over the river valleys. To the east, the waters of Lago El Guineo collect at the headwaters of the Río Toro Negro, illustrating the region's importance for local water management. Small rural communities like Anon, Raices, and Casa Blanca are linked by the winding courses of PR-144 and PR-143, tracing a human geography that follows the difficult contours of the Puerto Rican highlands.
