2024 Map of Salinas

About this map

The town of Salinas serves as the central hub of this coastal survey, where the Rio Nigua meets the Caribbean shoreline. The landscape is defined by its maritime geography, from the deep indent of the Bahía de Rincón to the numerous small islands and reefs like Cayo Mata and Arrecife Media Luna. Military and civic infrastructure is prominent, notably the extensive grounds of NG MTA Camp Santiago to the north and the Tribunal de Salinas within the municipal center. Coastal settlements such as Playa de Salinas and Las Mareas illustrate the region's enduring connection to the sea. Inland, the terrain rises toward Cerro Respaldo and Cerro Modesto, while the Canal de Patillas cuts across the eastern plains near Fortuna and Magdalena, tracing the historical water management patterns of the island's southern coast.
