2018 Map of Salinas

About this map

Salinas sits along the southern coast of the Island of Puerto Rico, where the urban center transitions into a complex marine landscape of bays and coral formations. The town’s layout is defined by its proximity to the Bahía de Rincón and the extensive grounds of MTA Camp Santiago RQ to the north. Coastal settlements like Jauca and Playa de Jauca reflect the local maritime orientation, supported by a network of inlets and points such as Punta Salinas. Further inland, the terrain rises toward peaks like Cerro Modesto and Cerro Respaldo, while the Canal de Patillas cuts through the eastern agricultural and industrial landscape. Offshore, a series of small islands and reefs including Cayos de Ratones and the Arrecife Media Luna protect the shoreline, marking a region where land and the Caribbean Sea are deeply intertwined.
