A physical relief map of Trinidad showing the Naparima Plain in the southwest.

On the island of Trinidad, the Naparima Plain is a broad lowland area on the west between the the Central Range and the Southern Range;[1] the lowland area on the east is the Nariva Plain. To the north of the Central Range is the Caroni Plain. The Oropuche river flows through the Naparima Plain and drains into the Oropuche Lagoon, a swampy area, on the Gulf of Paria coast.[1] The norther region of the Naparima Plain has alluvial soil; the southern region is sandy and less fertile.[1]
