How to Use This Bajandas, Puerto Rico Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Bajandas, Puerto Rico. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Puerto Rico or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Bajandas.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

ZIP code: 00741.Bajandas reveals itself as a low-lying stretch of land where the humid breath of the tropics meets a landscape defined by the shifting moisture of the earth. It lies 3.1 miles east of Humacao, PR (from Humacao, PR: bearing 80°T), and is situated 9.8 miles northeast of Yabucoa. The air here holds a heavy, salt-flecked weight, drifting inland from the nearby Puerto de Humacao to settle over the verdant, tangled reaches of the RN Pantano Bosque Pterocarpus Lagunas Mandry y Sta Teresa Humacao. To the west, the horizon catches the jagged silhouettes of the Cuchilla El Duque, while the gentle, persistent flow of the Río Anton Ruiz carves a path through the Quebrada Icacos, feeding the thirsty soil. The light at dusk possesses a bruised, violet quality, turning the mangroves into dark, skeletal silhouettes against a sky that seems to dissolve into the sea.
Bajandas maintains a quiet, steady pulse, shaped by a history of land use that favored the rhythms of the coastal plains over the dense, shadowed interior. While the economy has evolved beyond the cycles of traditional agriculture, the legacy of the land persists in the way Bajandas remains tethered to the natural boundaries of the water and the swamp. Life here moves with the tide of the Puerto de Humacao, and the distant, shimmering presence of Bajo Evelyn serves as a constant, quiet anchor for those who look toward the horizon. Residents often find their way toward the trails of the Recreacion Nacional Sendero de las Vientos for a respite from the humidity, yet it is the local proximity to the protected wetlands that defines the character of the place, keeping Bajandas perpetually attuned to the wild, slow growth of the forest floor.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
