About this map

Maricao serves as the central hub of this interior Puerto Rican landscape, where the town's winding roads like PR-105 and PR-120 navigate a complex network of ridges and watercourses. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Pico Santa Ana and Alto de la Bandera, while the northern reaches include the municipality of Las Marías. This 2013 survey illustrates the dense drainage pattern of the region, featuring major rivers like Rio Maricao, Rio Prieto, and Rio Yauco that carve through the high ground of the Chuchilla de Bucarabones.

Rural life is marked by smaller settlements like Los Barros and the agricultural pathways of Camino Miguel Agustin. The map captures the municipal boundaries where Maricao meets neighboring San Germán, Sabana Grande, and Lares, providing a clear record of the area's political and physical geography. Landmarks like Cerro Plan Bonito and Pico Montoso provide orientation points for those studying the high-altitude topography of the island's interior west.
