How to Use This La Yuca, Puerto Rico Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for La Yuca, 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 Yuca.
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 La Yuca, Puerto Rico
La Yuca is a locality in Ponce County, Puerto Rico, United States. It is a small community with a population of 257. The population density is 1335.9 people per km². La Yuca is located at 38.7946°N, 106.5348°W. It observes the Atlantic Standard Time — no DST (America/Puerto_Rico) timezone.La Yuca emerges from the verdant, sun-drenched plains where the Río Bayagán carves a persistent, silver path through the humid earth. It lies 4.3 miles north of Ponce, PR (from Ponce, PR: bearing 6°T), and is situated 6.8 miles west-northwest of Juana Díaz. Beyond the riverbank, the land rises toward the sharp, singular silhouette of Pico Pinto, which anchors the horizon under a sky that shifts from bruised violet to a blinding, high-noon white. The air here holds the weight of the tropics, thick with the scent of damp soil and the sharp, metallic tang of the distant Ponce Harbor, visible as a thin strip of blue when the haze clears. To the north, the terrain folds into the quiet, shaded depths of Bosque Estatal de Cerrillos, a sanctuary where the shadows lengthen early and the silence is broken only by the sudden, percussive call of birds.
La Yuca carries the quiet persistence of a place shaped by its proximity to the land, where the economy remains tethered to the slow cycles of cultivation and the labor of the soil. History here is not written in grand monuments but in the worn stones of the Vereda Alcantarilla and the deep, resonant memories of families who have worked the fields near Quebrada Ausubo for generations. Life in La Yuca moves with the deliberate pace of the tides, though the sea remains miles away at the harbor, exerting a pull that is felt more in the spirit than in the geography. Neighbors recognize one another by the specific rustle of their work or the way they navigate the heat of the afternoon, finding a shared, understated dignity in the rhythm of a day that begins before the sun crests the hills and ends as the light fades into the long, cool shadows of evening.

About This La Yuca Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of La Yuca, 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 La Yuca includes the ZIP code, telephone area code (787, 939), county seat of Ponce 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.
