The coastal settlement of Puerto Real occupies a sheltered cove along the western shore of Cabo Rojo in this mid-century survey. The map details the transition from the marine environment of the Pasaje de Mona to the agricultural and residential barrios of Miradero and Pedernales. The intricate shoreline is punctuated by prominent points including Pta Ostiones, Pta Carenero, and Pta La Mela, defining the shape of the harbor. Inland, the hydrology is marked by the Quebrada Las Piñas, which drains toward the developed waterfront. Small offshore features like Cayo Ratones and Cayo Fanduca provide critical landmarks for the maritime activity that has long centered on this traditional fishing village. This survey, prepared by the United States Department of the Interior, reflects the area's landscape just as modern planning and zoning began to take shape under the local Department of the Interior and Jorge J. Jiménez.
