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 Cabo Rojo County, Puerto Rico, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,475. The population density is 882.2 people per km². 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 landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic pulse of the Río Viejo as it carves a path through the terrain. It lies 3.8 miles south-southeast of Hormigueros, PR (from Hormigueros, PR: bearing 160°T), and is situated 9.7 miles west of Sabana Grande. The elevation rises toward the slopes of La Cuchilla, which looms as a dark, serrated silhouette against the tropical sky. Within the basin of Quebrada Trina, the air holds a heavy, humid weight, shifting between the sun-drenched heat of the day and the cooling breath of the evening. Though the coastline remains five miles distant, the scent of salt air occasionally drifts inland from the direction of Puerto Real, reminding those in Monte Grande of the proximity to the sea. The horizon is broken by the distant, verdant reach of the Bosque Estatal de Maricao, while the nearby Laguna Joyuda serves as a quiet, reflective basin for the local wildlife that congregates in the shadows of the Unknown Local Park.
Life in Monte Grande moves with a deliberate gravity, shaped by an economy that has long looked toward the soil and the seasonal cycles of the island. Generations have navigated the balance between the demands of the land and the pull of the world beyond, fostering a culture that feels both deeply rooted and restless. The local rhythm is dictated by the passage of light over the hills and the labor required to sustain the small-scale agricultural life that persists here. While the currents of history have shifted the focus of the region, the people maintain a connection to their surroundings that is as steady as the flow of the Río Viejo. Travelers seeking a more rugged experience might venture toward the Vereda Helechal, yet the true character of the place is found in the quiet, unadorned corners where the influence of the nearby coast and the mountains converge.

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.
