How to Use This Carrizales, Puerto Rico Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Carrizales, 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 Carrizales.
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 Carrizales, Puerto Rico
Carrizales is a locality in Hatillo County, Puerto Rico, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,887. The population density is 1882.4 people per km². Carrizales is located at 18.4819°N, 66.7899°W. It observes the Atlantic Standard Time — no DST (America/Puerto_Rico) timezone. ZIP code: 00659.Carrizales occupies a verdant stretch of land where the humid breath of the Atlantic carries the scent of salt across the limestone plains. It lies 4.9 miles west of Arecibo, PR (from Arecibo, PR: bearing 278°T), and is situated 9.8 miles east of Quebradillas. The terrain here slopes toward the northern shore, defined by a proximity to the open coastline that keeps the air perpetually thick with moisture and the light sharp against the green foliage. While the distant silhouettes of the Montañas Guarionex cut a jagged line against the southern horizon, the immediate earth is shaped by the nearby Quebrada Seca, a basin that channels the seasonal runoff toward the sea. A local running track serves as the quiet center of activity, providing a flat, measured circuit where the pace of the day is marked by the rhythmic footfalls of residents under a sun that bleaches the color from the midday sky.
Economic life in Carrizales has long been tethered to the rhythms of the coast and the inland moisture provided by the Río Camuy, which winds through the periphery of the region. The proximity to Puerto Arecibo has historically dictated the flow of trade, linking the local harvest to the maritime arteries that sustain the island’s economy. Beyond the reach of the bustling ports, the landscape remains punctuated by the presence of Peñon Brusi, a solitary marker standing in the surf that anchors the coastal perspective. Whether one looks toward the interior, where the distant Bosque Estatal de Río Abajo waits, or toward the edge of the water, Carrizales maintains a character defined by its position between the deep, inland wild and the restless, tidal horizon.

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.
