2013 Map of Rio Grande

About this map

Río Grande and its surrounding coastal settlements are documented in this 2013 survey, illustrating the interface between the urban corridor and the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Río Espíritu Santo and its tributaries, such as Quebrada Juan González, which flow toward the shore at Boca Herrera. The development pattern reflects a mix of residential centers like Loíza and Vieques alongside established recreation sites including the Berwind Country Club and Rio Mar Club. Further inland, the terrain rises toward peaks like Cerro Bravo and Cerro El Faro, providing a clear view of the transition from the alluvial coastal plains to the higher elevations of the Island of Puerto Rico. This edition captures the established infrastructure of primary routes PR-3 and PR-187 as they connect the coastal communities.
