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

ZIP code: 00622.El Combate unfolds where the limestone earth meets the insistent pulse of the Caribbean tide, a sun-bleached threshold defined by the vast, protected expanses of the Cabo Rojo National Wildlife Refuge. It lies 12.5 miles south-southwest of Hormigueros, PR (from Hormigueros, PR: bearing 207°T), and is situated 8.7 miles south-southwest of Cabo Rojo. To the east, the rugged silhouette of the Sierra Bermeja rises against the sky, providing a stark, craggy contrast to the low-lying, mineral-rich Corozo Salt Flats that shimmer in the heat two miles away. The air here carries a persistent, saline weight, seasoned by the proximity of Bahía Salinas, where the water takes on a glassy, reflective quality as if holding the day’s light in suspension. Beyond the immediate scrub and coastal brush, the land feels ancient and indifferent, shaped by the slow, iterative work of wind and salt that defines the character of this particular geography.
El Combate serves as a quiet sentinel of local tradition, where the economy has long drawn its vitality from the sea and the patient extraction of salt. The presence of Bosque Estatal Los Morillos nearby creates a verdant buffer, a sanctuary of dry forest that anchors the region against the encroaching modernity of the coast. Life in El Combate moves in sync with the shifting tides, far removed from the inland bustle near the distant Río Viejo or the freshwater stillness of Laguna Joyuda. Even as the sun dips toward the horizon, casting long, bruised shadows toward the distant crags of Roca Ola, the neighborhood retains a sense of seclusion, a place where the history of the island is written not in grand monuments, but in the quiet, enduring labor of those who navigate its shores.

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.
