2018 Map of Vega Alta

About this map

Vega Alta and Dorado serve as central hubs in this coastal landscape, where the northern plains of Puerto Rico meet the Atlantic Ocean. The region’s connectivity is defined by the heavy artery of Expreso Jose de Diego, which cuts through a terrain marked by traditional settlements and modern expansion. Along the shoreline, the geography is punctuated by distinct points like Punta Cerro Gordo and Punta Mameyes, with recreational stretches at Playa de los Tocones and Playa de Sardinera. Local history is anchored by essential community landmarks, including the Cementerio Nuestra Señora del Carmen and the Cementerio Viejo Toa Alta. The hydrology of the area is dominated by the winding paths of the Río de la Plata and Río Cibuco, which irrigate the low-lying basins between the coastal limestone hills of the Cerros de Higuillar.
