How to Use This Yaurel, Puerto Rico Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Yaurel, 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 Yaurel.
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: 00723.Yaurel unfurls across a landscape defined by the rhythmic descent of verdant slopes toward the low-lying reaches of the Quebrada Majagual. It lies 4.8 miles northeast of Guayama, PR (from Guayama, PR: bearing 52°T), and is situated 9.3 miles southeast of Cayey. The air here holds a heavy, silvered humidity, catching the light as it filters down from the distant, hazy silhouette of the Sierra de Cayey. To the west, the cooling influence of Lago Patillas anchors the horizon, its dark waters reflecting the erratic flight of birds and the shifting moods of the sky. Nearby, the Río Nigua cuts a persistent, winding path through the terrain, its banks lined with the dense, tangled greenery characteristic of a tropical wet and dry climate. The geography of Yaurel feels both sheltered and expansive, a place where the mountain shadows lengthen early in the afternoon, softening the sharp edges of the terrain into a muted, verdant gray.
Economic life in Yaurel has long been tethered to the pulse of the land, drawing sustenance from the fertile soil that once supported traditional agriculture and continues to shape the daily habits of its residents. The legacy of the region remains visible in the quiet, steady pace of local commerce, which persists in the shadow of the nearby Parque Martín “Tato” Curet Vázquez. While the coastline of Puerto Patillas remains just a few miles beyond the immediate view, the life of the people here is oriented toward the inland hills and the cooling respite of the nearby Charco Azul Trail. There is a distinct, understated resilience in the way the neighborhood carries itself, balancing the quietude of its rural surroundings with the persistent memory of those who have labored in its fields. As dusk settles, the atmosphere shifts, turning the land into a quiet theater of cicadas and cooling breezes that drift in from the direction of the Bosque Estatal de Aguirre.

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.
