Santiago Rodriguez Province encompasses mountains, forests, and valleys within its 1,111 square kilometers at an elevation of 243 meters above sea level.

The province emerged as a separate administrative territory in 1948 when it separated from Monte Cristi, with San Ignacio de Sabaneta as its capital.

The region maintains strong agricultural traditions through tobacco cultivation, beekeeping, and timber production, supporting numerous farming communities across its territory.

The province connects to neighboring regions through a network of secondary highways, linking the main municipality of Sabaneta to Mao and Dajabón.

The Monción Dam within the province serves as a substantial freshwater reservoir and provides resources for local fishing activities.
