About this map

Central Roig and the surrounding sugar production landscape anchor this coastal study of southeastern Puerto Rico. The map illustrates the industrial and maritime character of the region, where the Río Guayanés and Caño de Santiago meet the sea at Puerto Yabucoa. The inland topography transitions from the low-lying Valle de Juan Martín to the prominent heights of Cerro Santa Elena and Cerro Candelero, reflecting the varied agricultural and residential patterns of the Municipio de Yabucoa and Municipio de Humacao.

Educational sites are well-documented, including the Escuela Segunda Unidad Luciano Ríos and Escuela Eugenio María de Hostos, providing specific points of interest for local history. Along the shoreline of the Caribbean Sea, numerous maritime landmarks such as Punta Guayanés, Punta Yeguas, and the offshore Cayo Batata detail the jagged interface between the island's southern hills and the coast.
