Cerrillos RiverCerrillos River (Spanish: RÃo Cerrillos) is a river in the municipality of Ponce, Puerto Rico. RÃo Cerrillos has its origin in barrio Anón and runs south until it feeds into Bucaná River. RÃo Cerrillos is commonly known by the locals as Maragüez River, because most of its course runs through Barrio Maragüez. This river is one of the 14 rivers in the municipality. The river has a discharge of 24,000 cubic feet per second, making it the second most affluent river in the municipality after RÃo Jacaguas.
From its origin about 1 kilometer south of the intersection of PR-139 and PR-143, RÃo Cerrillos runs south for 1.8 kilometers where it is fed by RÃo Prieto west of PR-139. From this point on, Rio Cerrillos runs parallel to PR-139 for 2 kilometers in barrio Anón before reaching barrio Maraguez. Continuing on its southernly course for about 1.2 kilometers, RÃo Cerrillos is fed by RÃo San Patricio. Five kilometers further downstream RÃo Cerrillos forms Lake Cerrillos, as a result of its dam. Flowing out of the Cerrillos dam, RÃo Cerrillos runs south for 1 kilometer until it enters barrios Machuelo Arriba and barrio Cerrillos, being the boundary between the two barrios. The river continues its southern course parallel to PR-139 for 5 kilometers until it reaches PR-5139. In another kilometer downstream it is fed by Quebrada Ausubo, and another kilometer further south it is fed by RÃo Bayagán. At this point it feeds into RÃo Bucaná where it terminates.
