2013 Map of Manati

About this map

The coastal and inland interface of Manatí and Vega Baja defines this landscape, where the northern shore meets the Atlantic Ocean. The geography is shaped by significant water bodies, including the protected waters of Laguna Tortuguero and the Río Grande de Manatí which winds along the western edge of the survey. The inland terrain rises into prominent elevations such as Cerro del Faro and Cerro Guarico, while the coast is marked by distinctive points like Punta Chivato and Punta Garza. Settlement patterns are concentrated along major thoroughfares like the PR-2, with residential clusters in Miranda and the beach communities of Playa Puerto Nuevo and Playa de Vega. Numerous smaller streams, including Quebrada Hicatea and Quebrada El Salto, drain the northern slopes, illustrating the intricate watershed that supports the region's agricultural and urban development.
