2018 Map of Mayaguez

About this map

MayagüEz and its deep coastal indentation at the Bahía de Mayagüez define this western Puerto Rican landscape. The 2018 survey reveals a dense urban corridor stretching from the Río Yagüez south toward the historic town of Hormigueros. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it identifies several distinct burial grounds including the Cementerio Municipal de Mayagüez and the Cementerio Municipal de Sábalos. Beyond the city, the terrain transitions to the mangrove-lined wetlands of Caño Corazones and the southern Laguna Joyuda. The hydrology is complex, with numerous waterways like Quebrada Grande and Quebrada Pulida draining the hills toward the Caribbean Sea. Offshore, hazardous navigation points such as Roca Blanca and Escollo Rodríguez mark the approach to the harbor, while the northern coast features the sandy reaches of Playa de Mar.
