How to Use This Palma Sola, Puerto Rico Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Palma Sola, 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 Palma Sola.
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 Palma Sola, Puerto Rico
Palma Sola is a locality in Villalba County, Puerto Rico, United States. Palma Sola is located at 18.0950°N, 66.4596°W. It observes the Atlantic Standard Time — no DST (America/Puerto_Rico) timezone. ZIP code: 00729.Palma Sola reveals its character through the constant, rhythmic presence of the Río Toa Vaca, which carves a path through the landscape as it flows past the houses and fields. It lies 11.7 miles east-northeast of Ponce, PR (from Ponce, PR: bearing 60°T), and is situated 6.8 miles west of Coamo. The terrain is defined by the steep, green relief of the Quebrada Grande, a basin that holds the humidity of the tropical air close to the earth. To the north, the slopes of the Cordillera Central rise against the sky, their ridges often softening into a hazy blue under the midday sun. While the distant Bahía de Jauca hums with the memory of tides, the immediate environment remains inland, characterized by the dense, verdant growth of the hillsides. Nearby, the falls at Salto de Doña Juana drop through the canopy, and the quiet waters of Lago El Guineo catch the shifting light of the passing clouds, grounding the geography in a series of deliberate, natural connections.
Life in Palma Sola moves with the deliberate pace of an agricultural tradition, where the soil and the season dictate the habits of the day. The local economy persists in a quiet dialogue with the land, reflecting a history shaped by the resilience of those who have worked these slopes for generations. Residents find a sense of recreation at the Unknown Local Park, a space that serves as a focal point for the community when the heat of the afternoon gives way to a cooler, violet dusk. Beyond the immediate reach of the valley, the shadow of the Bosque Estatal de Guilarte serves as a silent guardian, marking the wilder limits of the region. Even as the modern world encroaches, Palma Sola retains the quiet dignity of a place where the people remain deeply attuned to the cycles of the rain and the steady, unceasing movement of the river.

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.
