DRAINAGE MAP

The Drainage Map of Barangay Tabontabon details the intricate network of natural and man-made water systems essential for managing the community’s hydrology. The landscape is defined by a primary river and a complex series of creeks (light blue lines) that distribute water across the territory, supplemented by numerous springs, localized falls, and a swamp area identified in the central sector. This water network is mapped alongside the local transportation grid, which includes the Provincial Road (orange), the Barangay Road (brown), and a Dumpsite road (yellow). By providing a clear layout of these water sources and routes, the map serves as a fundamental tool for the Local Government Unit to monitor water resources and plan for effective drainage and flood management strategies.

 

ROAD NETWORK

The Road Network Map of Barangay Tabontabon provides a detailed overview of the transportation infrastructure and key geographical markers within the community. The network is primarily composed of approximately 10,002 meters of foot trails (brown dashed lines) that provide access to the barangay’s rugged, interior terrain, complemented by a Provincial Road (brown solid line) measuring about 2,260 meters and a shorter Barangay Road of 443 meters. Additionally, a Dumpsite road of 1,158 meters (orange) facilitates specific utility access. These routes are mapped alongside the local river and creeks, highlighting how the community’s mobility is integrated with its natural water systems and shared boundaries with neighboring barangays like Mahayag and Bolodbolod.

 

LAND COVER MAP

community’s environmental and residential distribution. The vast majority of the territory is dominated by Grassland (shaded in light green dotted pattern), which serves as the primary natural cover across its hilly terrain. Situated centrally are the community’s core activities, featuring a clustered Settlement area (yellow) surrounded by pockets of Annual crops (light yellow), Perennial crops (striped green), and Mixed crops (olive green). This map, which also identifies small Fish pond areas, acts as a vital resource for local planners to understand the balance between natural vegetation and the agricultural livelihoods of the residents.

 

SETTLEMENT AND INFRA MAP

The Settlement & Infrastructure Map of Barangay Tabon-Tabon provides a detailed layout of the community’s primary residential core and essential public facilities. The Settlement area (shaded in yellow) is centrally located, primarily clustered along the Provincial Road and the Barangay Road near the local river system. This administrative hub includes key infrastructure such as the Elementary and Pre-Elementary Schools, a Catholic Church, a Basketball Court, and a Day Care School, as well as utility markers for Intake tanks, a Reservoir, and a Rice Mill. By mapping these facilities alongside the local drainage and road networks, the map serves as a vital reference for community management and future infrastructure planning.

 

TENURIAL MAP

The Tenurial Map of Barangay Tabon-Tabon provides an overview of land ownership and legal status within the community’s boundaries in the Municipality of Saint Bernard. The map categorizes the territory into two primary legal classifications: a large western and central section totaling approximately 239.113 hectares under a Cadastral Survey (shaded in green stripes), and an eastern section covering approximately 48.864 hectares held under Tax Declaration (shaded in yellow). By outlining these tenurial regions alongside neighbor boundaries like Barangay Bolodbolod and Mahayahay, the map serves as a critical administrative tool for the Local Government Unit to manage property rights, land disputes, and tax collection.

 

PROTECTION MAP

The Protection Map of Barangay Tabon-Tabon outlines specific environmental management strategies designed to mitigate erosion and protect local waterways. The plan identifies several high-risk zones where planting fruit trees and multi-cropping are recommended to stabilize the soil, particularly in areas where settlements are encroaching on steep terrain. Additionally, the map designates riparian zones along the river and creeks for the planting of bamboo and fruit trees to prevent bank erosion, while identifying broader grassland areas suited for multi-cropping. By integrating these conservation practices with the community’s existing water network and settlement patterns, the map serves as a proactive guide for sustainable land management and disaster risk reduction.

 

EROSION MAP

The Erosion Map of Barangay Tabon-Tabon identifies high-risk geological areas within the community’s rugged terrain to inform disaster preparedness and land management. The map highlights several critical Erosion areas (shaded in solid red) primarily located in the eastern and central-northern sectors of the barangay. These hazard zones are depicted alongside the community’s primary transportation routes, including the Provincial Road (brown), the Barangay Road (orange), and the Dumpsite road (yellow), illustrating the potential threat to local infrastructure. Set against a backdrop of dense contour lines, this spatial data provides a clear visualization of how the steep topography contributes to soil instability, serving as an essential tool for identifying where mitigation efforts are most needed.

 

FLOODING HAZARD

The Flooding Hazard Map of Barangay Tabon-Tabon identifies specific zones at risk of inundation, primarily centered along the community’s main river and residential corridor. The map categorizes flood risks by water level, with the largest affected area expected to reach a depth of 1.5 meters (covering ~0.75 hectares), followed by areas at 1 meter depth (~0.515 hectares). Smaller, high-intensity pockets are also noted with potential water levels reaching 2.5 meters and 4 meters. By overlaying these hazard zones with the Provincial Road and the clustered Settlement area, the map provides a critical visualization for local authorities to prioritize emergency response and long-term flood mitigation infrastructure.

 

LAND USE CONFLICT & ISSUE MAP

The Land Use Conflict & Issue Map of Barangay Tabon-Tabon identifies critical administrative and environmental challenges that hinder community development. The map highlights a significant Disputed area (shaded in green stripes) at the northern boundary with Barangay Mahayag, alongside a large Hazard prone zone within the settlement area (shaded in red dots) situated centrally. Furthermore, several sections in the southern portion are identified as Relocation sites unavailable for sale (shaded in yellow checkers), which may complicate future housing initiatives. By mapping these issues against the local road network and barangay boundaries, the document provides a clear overview of the spatial constraints that local leaders must address to ensure safe and legal land utilization.
