Description: Detailed large political map of Guam showing names of capital cities, towns, states, provinces and boundaries with neighbouring countries.
Map of Guam, featuring cities, major cities, villages, and a road network. Use this easy guide to read the island from tip to tip. You will spot the national capital Hagåtña, the large villages Dededo and Yigo, bays like Tumon Bay, Pago Bay, and Talofofo Bay, capes such as Ritidian Point and Orote Point, and the simple red road-light corridors that link every shoreline community.
Guam sits alone in the western Pacific. The Philippine Sea touches the west side of the island. The North Pacific Ocean labels the east and south. The outline is tall and leaf-shaped, with a narrow waist in the center where many villages cluster.
Guam has only sea borders. The west side faces the Philippine Sea. The east and south face the North Pacific Ocean. Nearby territories across open water include the Northern Mariana Islands to the north, but they do not appear on this map.
Status: Unincorporated territory of the United States.
Capital: Hagåtña on the central west coast.
Largest villages: Dededo and Yigo in the north, Tamuning near Tumon Bay.
Language: English and Chamorro are common.
Currency: United States dollar.
Time: Chamorro Standard Time, UTC plus 10.
Airport: Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport near Tamuning.
Driving: Right side of the road; distances in miles or kilometers depending on the sign.
Quick map tip: Think of a tall leaf. The stem at the bottom is Aga Point. The capital sits mid-leaf on the left. The broad top holds Dededo and Yigo.
The red square marks Hagåtña, the capital, on a short coastal plain between Asan Point and Piti. The nearby label Hagåtña Heights shows homes on the hill behind the city. West of the capital, a minor inlet points to Apra Harbor, Guam’s deep harbor, guarded by Orote Point. Just south of the harbor, the map places Santa Rita, a larger village that supports port activity.
North of Hagåtña, the road passes Tamuning, the island’s hotel and shopping area. The blue curve of Tumon Bay fills the map’s resort strip. A short hop inland reaches Mongmong and Sinajana, two small villages that connect the hills with the coast.
Above Tamuning, the highway climbs to Dededo, the largest village by population. Roads spread across the plateau toward Yigo in the northeast. A thin coastal road curves to Ritidian Point at the far north tip and then to Pati Point on the east rim. These names help you square the top edge of the island.
East of Dededo, the line of cliffs steps down to the sea at Pagat Point. South along the same coast, the map shows Mangilao and Barrigada on the inner ridge. A winding road drops to Pago Bay, a broad bite in the shoreline where the sea meets the valley.
At the waist of the island, the names Chalan Pago and Yona sit on a ridge. From here, you can go east to Pago Bay or south toward the mountains. The road continues to Talofofo and its twin coves at Talofofo Bay.
Past Inarajan, the road finds the island’s heel near Aga Point and wraps to the calm waters of Cocos Lagoon and Cocos Island near Merizo. Turning the corner, you enter Umatac, then pass Facpi Point and come out at Agat on Agat Bay. From Agat, the coastal highway leads back to Santa Rita and the harbor mouth.
Inside the southern hills, the map labels Fena Valley Res., which stands for Fena Valley Reservoir, a key freshwater lake. Streams from the high ground cut toward both coasts, which helps you read why the roads follow ridges and valleys.
West Coast Corridor. A single red ribbon links Agat, Santa Rita, Piti, Asan, Hagåtña, Tamuning, and Dededo, then bends to the northern tip.
East and South Coastal Corridor. From Dededo and Yigo, the road drops along Pagat Point to Mangilao, Barrigada, Chalan Pago, Yona, Talofofo, Inarajan, Merizo, and Umatac, then loops back to Agat.
Center Cross-links. Short spurs connect Mongmong, Sinajana, Chalan Pago, Barrigada, and Mangilao, so you can cross from west to east without circling the island.
The airfield symbol near Tamuning marks Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport, set between Hagåtña and Tumon Bay. Use this marker to find the hotel coast within minutes of arrival.
At the very top, the label Ritidian Point marks a sharp cape above a short beach. The red road ends near the cliffs, so plan to return the same way—East of the cape, the coast swings to Pati Point, then south toward Pagat Point. On the plateau, you will find Dededo in the center and Yigo closer to the east side. Both villages are easy to find because the north road forks toward each and shadows the coastlines.
Read the capital area from west to east. Asan and Piti flank Hagåtña on the bay. Inland, you see Hagåtña Heights and Sinajana on the ridge, then Mongmong near the airport corridor. The map also shows Oca Point just north of Asan Point, which helps you recognize the bend of the central shoreline.
East of the capital, a cross-island road climbs to Barrigada and Mangilao. Both sit on a high ridge that drops to Pago Bay. These names tell you that the middle of Guam is hilly with quick descents to the sea.
Northward from Hagåtña, the coast rounds Tumon Bay at Tamuning. Southward, the highway skirts Agat Bay, then enters Apra Harbor at Orote Point just before Santa Rita. The harbor and the bay are the best map cues to track the west edge.
On the east side, Talofofo Bay has twin coves that stand out on the map. South of it, Inarajan heads a longer stretch of reef coast. Further south, you pass Merizo, the jumping-off point for Cocos Lagoon and Cocos Island. Wrap around Aga Point and climb to Umatac, then hug the shore past Facpi Point to Agat.
