potentials – the mountains replicate the Sierra Madre Series in the eastern
part of the province and the Caraballo and Mamparang ranges in the south. It also illustrates that majority of its land
resources are rolling to steep and very steep areas. In the middle right hand corner of the seal
are trees that represent its major natural resources. It also signifies that the province contains
the upper Cagayan River basin watershed.
The replica of bundled rice, tobacco and corn identifies the three (3)
main crops grown in the province as a source of living. The lower portion of the seal represents the
abundance of inland bodies of freshwater.
This portion of the seal also divided the middle that signifies that the
Cagayan River dissects this inland province of which other small rivers and
tributaries flow to the mouth at Aparri, Cagayan.
