Kalayaan History and Discription



Topography



Kalayaan is rectangular in shape with hilly terrain on most of its eastern side while relatively flat on its western side.  Its highest elevations are from 400 to 418 meters.  These are found in Sitio Santo Angel, Malaking Pulo and Cabuhayan in Barangay San Juan and Sitio Lamao in Barangay San Antonio.  Approximately three-fourths of the total land area are with terrain 300 meters and above.  Its lowest points are from five to 20 meters along the western sections of Barangays San Juan and Longos towards Laguna de Bay.
 
Its surface water comes in the form of lakes and numerous rivers, streams and creeks (Table 2: Inventory of Rivers and Creeks 1984).  San Juan and Longos Rivers wind up into Laguna de Bay towards the western border of the town.
 
 The terrain of the municipality has given rise to famous resorts and picnic grooves known to both local and foreign tourists.  Aside from these, however, the town has no other prominent topographic feature.
 

The bigger 91.4% of the town has fair  water bearing capacity.  This area covers the elevated portion of the town representing the entire area of Barangay San Antonio and 22.7% and 8.3% of Barangay San Juan and Longos, respectively.
