Ozamiz City is approximately within the geographical coordinates 123⁰39’50” | |||
and 123⁰52’45” east longitude and 08⁰04’05” and 08⁰12’30” north latitude. It is | |||
located at the southern part at the province of Misamis Occidental and is nestled at | |||
the western side of the entrance of Panguil Bay in Region 10 in Northwestern | |||
Mindanao. | |||
It is bounded on the North by the Municipality of Clarin; on the east by Iligan | |||
Bay and Panguil Bay, separating the city from the two (2) geographically proximate | |||
cities that are Cagayan de Oro and Iligan; on the south by the city of Tangub and | |||
on the west by the Municipality of Don Victoriano. It has a total territorial land area of | |||
Sixteen Thousand Four Hundred Seven (16,407) Hectares excluding the contested | |||
areas that are not yet resolved. | |||
Ozamiz City is characterized by its low flat elevation in urban areas rising in | |||
gentle slope westward as it approaches the interior. The terrain toward the western | |||
boundary bordering the Municipality of Don Victoriano and Tangub City (passing the | |||
buffer zones of the delineation of Mt. Malindang Range Natural Park which was | |||
proclaimed as national park and watershed reserve by virtue of Republic Act 6266), | |||
is particularly rugged and very sparsely settled as hills and rolling lands are among | |||
its physical features. | |||
The elevation of Ozamiz City ranges from the flat lowland of the poblacion | |||
and its coastal barangays at about 1.9 meters above sea level to 562.55 meters | |||
above sea level of the nearest barangay approaching Mt. Malindang, Barangay | |||
Gala. Other highly elevated barangays are Guimad, Trigos and Sangay Daku having | |||
an elevation of 432.25 meters and 235.43 meters respectively (Table III-1). It is not | |||
surprising that the climates in these particular barangays are noted to be cool and | |||
chilly, the inviting charms that made them a promising potential for tourist | |||
development. | |||
Mt. Malindang, the landmark of the city and of the province of Misamis | |||
Occidental has the highest elevation of approximately 2,411 meters above sea level. | |||
The mountain serves as a protecting wall against typhoons and strong winds. | |||
