How to Use This Monte Grande, Puerto Rico Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Monte Grande, 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 Monte Grande.
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 Monte Grande, Puerto Rico
Monte Grande is a locality in Arecibo County, Puerto Rico, United States. Monte Grande is located at 18.4627°N, 66.6946°W. It observes the Atlantic Standard Time — no DST (America/Puerto_Rico) timezone. ZIP code: 00614.Monte Grande occupies a low-lying stretch of land where the humid breath of the tropics meets the brackish patience of the coast. It lies 1.5 miles east-southeast of Arecibo, PR (from Arecibo, PR: bearing 116°T), and is situated 8.7 miles east of Hatillo. The air here holds a heavy, salt-flecked stillness, drawing moisture from the nearby Puerto Arecibo and the winding, silt-laden path of the Río Grande de Arecibo. To the north, the horizon is flattened by the expanse of the Caño Tiburones Natural Reserve, a sprawling wetland where the earth seems to dissolve into water under the weight of the afternoon sun. Looking toward the distant silhouette of the Montañas Guarionex, one can see how the land gently rises away from the sea, offering a brief respite from the flat, marshy plains that define the immediate perimeter of Monte Grande. Beyond the shoreline, the jagged form of Roca Cocinera breaks the surface of the water, a solitary sentinel guarding the approach to the coast.
Life in Monte Grande remains tethered to the shifting tides and the fertile, muddy margins of the reserve, where the economy has long favored the rhythms of extraction and small-scale cultivation. The legacy of the region is written in the drainage patterns of Quebrada La Regadera, which channel the seasonal rains through the fields and toward the sea, shaping the way people build and move across the terrain. While the bustling centers of commerce feel worlds away, residents maintain a steady, practical connection to the land, whether through the maintenance of local infrastructure or the quiet stewardship of the wetlands. Even when the heat haze shimmers over the fields, there is a persistent sense of purpose in the way the morning light catches the reeds and the water, marking the passage of hours in a place where the water and the soil are never truly separate.

Detailed location data for Monte Grande includes the ZIP code (00614), telephone area code (787, 939), county seat of Arecibo 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.
