The Juan de Bolas River rises in Saint Catherine, Jamaica, [1] and flows through Saint Catherine and Clarendon. [2] It is one of two rivers in Jamaica named after Juan de Bolas, the first Chief of the Jamaican Maroons. [2]
The river rises just east of Juan de Bolas Mountain, at just under 2,743 feet (836 m) [1] from where it flows north, north-west, west and south-south-west to a confluence with the Rio Minho. [1]
