About this map

Quebradillas sits perched above the northwestern coast of Puerto Rico, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean where the Rio Guajataca carves a deep limestone canyon through the landscape. The northern coastal plains are divided into traditional barrios such as Terranova, San Jose, and Yeguada, while the southern interior rises into the karst hills of the Bosque Estatal de Guajataca.

A notable network of social and educational infrastructure defines the mid-century community, from the Escuela Jose de Diego near La Casa de Piedra to the Iglesia Virgen del Carmen in Llanadas. The rugged topography in the south is dominated by the Lago de Guajataca reservoir, while near the coast, the historical Ferrocarril rail line traces the shoreline, marking the transport patterns of a previous era.
