How to Use This La Pica, Puerto Rico Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for La Pica, 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 La Pica.
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: 00627.La Pica emerges from the verdant landscape as a modest settlement where the air holds the heavy, sweet scent of damp earth and ripening vegetation. It lies 9.8 miles west of Arecibo, PR (from Arecibo, PR: bearing 267°T), and is situated 4.9 miles east of Quebradillas. Gentle slopes rise toward the Montañas Guarionex in the distance, framing a horizon that shifts from deep emerald to a hazy, atmospheric gray as the afternoon light wanes. The terrain here is shaped by the nearby flow of the Río Camuy, which carves a path through the limestone earth just two miles away, while the proximity of the Peñon de Afuera serves as a constant, solitary sentinel against the salt-tinged breeze blowing inland. Residents find a quiet refuge at the Unknown Local Park, a sliver of preserved greenery that offers a necessary stillness against the persistent, rhythmic hum of the tropical climate.
History in La Pica remains etched in the persistence of its agricultural roots, where the economy has long drawn its vitality from the stubborn, fertile soil of the valley near Quebrada Bellaca. While the pace of life maintains a deliberate, measured cadence, the influence of the broader island spirit is visible in the way the architecture favors shaded porches and cross-breezes, designed to catch the cooling drafts that travel from the direction of Puerto Arecibo. Daily life is defined by a deep-seated connection to the land and the seasonal cycles that dictate the harvest, creating a culture that feels both anchored to the immediate horizon and aware of the vast, open waters beyond the coast. Even as the modern world encroaches, the people of La Pica preserve a singular identity, one that values the slow accumulation of time and the enduring, unspoken bonds of their shared geography.

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.
