How to Use This Candelero Abajo, Puerto Rico Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Candelero Abajo, 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 Candelero Abajo.
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.

About Candelero Abajo, Puerto Rico
Candelero Abajo is a locality in Humacao County, Puerto Rico, United States. It is a small community with a population of 434. The population density is 698.7 people per km². Candelero Abajo is located at 38.7946°N, 106.5348°W. It observes the Atlantic Standard Time — no DST (America/Puerto_Rico) timezone.Candelero Abajo breathes in the humid, salt-tinged air of a landscape defined by its proximity to the Atlantic edge, where the horizon meets the vast expanse of Puerto Yabucoa. It lies 3.9 miles south of Humacao, PR (from Humacao, PR: bearing 169°T), and is situated 5.1 miles northeast of Yabucoa. The terrain here rises with a modest, persistent dignity, guided by the sharp silhouette of Cerro Candelero standing sentry two miles to the west. Below these heights, the land spills toward the coast in a series of green, undulating slopes that catch the heavy, golden light of the late afternoon. Water defines the edges of the territory, with the Río Candelero carving a winding path through the soil, its presence felt in the lush, persistent humidity that clings to the skin like a damp veil. At the center of daily movement, the Unknown Local Park offers a quiet clearing where the local flora thrives, unbothered by the distant, rhythmic pulse of the tides.
Candelero Abajo carries the quiet weight of a history rooted in the cultivation of the earth, a legacy that persists in the small-scale agricultural rhythms that still anchor the local economy. The transition from the inland elevations toward the basin of Quebrada Aguacate reveals a geography that has long supported the families who call this place home, maintaining a delicate balance between the demands of the modern world and the traditional pace of island life. Beyond the immediate view, the distant outline of Cayo Batata emerges from the water, a silent reminder of the maritime influence that subtly shapes the character of the region. Life in Candelero Abajo moves with the steady, unforced cadence of a place that understands its own boundaries, where the memory of older, agrarian ways lingers in the soft, persistent fragrance of the tropical soil after a passing rain.

About This Candelero Abajo Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Candelero Abajo, Puerto Rico. Coordinates: 38.794595, -106.534838. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Candelero Abajo includes the ZIP code, telephone area code (787, 939), county seat of Humacao County, and school district assignment.
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.
