How to Use This Magas Arriba, Puerto Rico Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Magas Arriba, 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 Magas Arriba.
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: 00656.Magas Arriba holds the warmth of the Caribbean sun against its slopes, where the land descends toward the salt-kissed horizons of the nearby coast. It lies 5.4 miles east-southeast of Yauco, PR (from Yauco, PR: bearing 103°T), and is situated 1.5 miles east of Guayanilla. The terrain rises from the lowlands in subtle folds, eventually yielding to the distant, jagged silhouette of the Montes de Barina which guard the northern periphery. A short distance away, the cool currents of the Río Guayanilla carve a path through the earth, feeding the verdant life that clings to the Quebrada de los Cedros. Light here possesses a heavy, amber quality as it filters through the canopy, illuminating the transition from the humid, coastal air toward the shadowed heights where the Bosque Estatal de Guilarte waits in the distance. Even the nearby waters of the Bahía Guayanilla seem to pull the gaze outward, grounding the landscape in a rhythmic, tidal pulse that defines the very edges of the earth.
Magas Arriba sustains a quiet existence shaped by the patient cultivation of its soil and the enduring character of its people. The local economy remains tethered to the cycles of the land, echoing a history of agricultural labor that has long defined the rhythm of daily life. Residents often find respite in the proximity of the Área Recreativa Santa Elena y Santa María, a space that serves as a communal anchor amidst the broader sweep of the island’s heritage. Beyond the immediate reach of the village, the Lluberas Trail invites those who seek the solitude of the interior, while the presence of Cayo Mata off the coast reminds observers of the fragile connection between the mainland and the sea. Life in Magas Arriba moves with the gravity of a place that understands its own geography, balancing the pull of the distant Lago Garzas with the immediate, pressing needs of a community that looks toward both the mountains and the tide.

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.
