Constituye conPlan estadal de Ordenación del Territorio Carrizal y San Antonio de Los Altos una conurbación funcional y físicamente integrada, que dificulta la lectura de los límites municipales; que a su vez conforman microsistemas donde se localizan los poblados de San Pedro y El Jarillo con potencial agro turístico, así como las poblaciones de San Diego de Los Altos y San José de los Altos.
