2013 Map of Moca

About this map

Moca and Isabela anchor this inland portion of the Island of Puerto Rico in 2013, where the northern coastal plains meet the rising elevations of the Cordillera Jaicoa. The map documents a transition from the urbanized corridors near the Rafael Hernandez Airport and San Antonio to the deeply incised valleys of the Rio Culebrinas watershed. Significant local landmarks like the Cementerio de Isabela and numerous family-named peaks such as Monte el Ojo and Monte Mariquilla illustrate a landscape defined by its rugged topography. The hydrologic network is dense with named streams like Quebrada de las Damas and Quebrada Dulce, which drain the limestone hills. This survey effectively captures the interface between modern transportation routes like PR-2 and the traditional rural settlements and agricultural terrain of the interior.
