About this map

The coastal village of Puerto Real anchors this 2018 survey of western Puerto Rico, where the land meets the Caribbean Sea through a complex network of bays, inlets, and reefs. This landscape is defined by the contrast between the low-lying Valle de Lajas and the surrounding heights of the Cordillera Sabana Alta and Sierra Bermeja. The coastline is heavily marked by nautical features, from the protective Cayo Ratones to the treacherous Bajos Resuello reefs offshore.

Settlement patterns reveal a mix of traditional agricultural sites like Hacienda Belvedere and modern recreational areas such as Joyuda Beach and the Balneario Público de Boquerón. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Cementerio Puerto Real and Cementerio Las Delicias. Drainage across the region is managed by numerous named waterways like Quebrada Boquerón, which flow toward the coastal lagoons and the expansive Bahía de Boquerón.
