About this map

Moca and Isabela anchor this northwestern landscape of Puerto Rico, where the coastal plains meet the rising elevations of the Cordillera Jaicoa. The map reveals a complex water management system, centered on the Canal Principal de Diversión and the Canal Moca, which cut across the terrain to support local agriculture and development. Near the northern coast, the Rafael Hernandez Airport serves as a modern landmark adjacent to the residential growth of Rafael Hernández and San Antonio.

Genealogists and local historians can find several significant burial sites, including the Cementerio de Municipio de Moca and the Cementerio Municipal de Isabela. The southern portion of the map is defined by prominent peaks such as Monte Encantado and Monte Mariquilla, as well as the winding course of the Río Culebrinas. These natural features, combined with the dense network of local roads like Ave Militar, illustrate the blend of rugged topography and persistent settlement that characterizes this region.
