juana daz, puerto rico

Juana Daz is a municipality of Puerto Rico. Juana Daz borders Ponce at the west, Jayuya and Orocovis at the north, Villalba to the north and east, Coamo and Santa Isabel to the east and the Caribbean Sea to the south. The urban zone is centered at close to 18.05N and 66.5O. Several rivers run through the Juana Daz territory, among them, Inabn River and the Jacaguas River, from which Juana Daz takes its nickname: "Ciudad del Jacaguas". The Guayabal dam between Juana Daz and Villalba is located in this river. Among its main tributaries are Toa Vaca River in Villalba, also dammed. Both Guayabal and Toa Vaca lakes are visible in the map. Lake Toa Vaca is also the main source of drinking water for Juana Daz, Ponce and other towns. Among the most important roads in Juana Daz are the Luis A. Ferr Expressway (PR-52) which connects Juana Daz with Ponce and the airport in just minutes and San Juan in a little more than one hour. Other important roads include road PR-14 which runs through downtown Juana Daz on its route between Ponce and Cayey, road PR-149 from Juana Daz to Manat running through Villalba and the "Cordillera Central" and road PR-1 which goes from Ponce to San Juan through barrio Pastillo in the south coast of Juana Daz.

All wards listed here are what constitute the municipality itself. Strictly speaking Juana Daz is just what is called "Juana Daz pueblo" above although all inhabitants within the municipality are "juanadinos" (name given to people of Juana Daz). A municipality in Puerto Rico is functionally similar to what are called "counties" in most states of the United States.
