Ponce sits at the base of the island's southern slopes, where the Rio Cerrillos and Rio Jacaguas feed the coastal plain. This 2018 survey documents a modern landscape shaped by major infrastructure, most notably the sprawling Mercedita Airport and the complex interchanges of the Autopista Luis A Ferre. Amidst this development, the map preserves landmarks of significant local heritage, including the Panteon Nacional Roman Baldorioty de Castro and the historic Puente de los Leones. The transition from the urban density of the city center to the surrounding hills is marked by numerous residential communities and settlements such as Luis Llorens Torres, Aguilita, and Cerrillos Hoyos. To the east, the presence of Fort Allen and the residential clusters of Capitanejo and Calzada define the edge of the municipality, illustrating the continued importance of military and suburban footprints in the region.
