1946 Map of Adjuntas

About this map

Agricultural haciendas define the settlement pattern of this mountainous interior region in the mid-1940s, clustered primarily around the town of Adjuntas. The map documents a traditional landscape where commercial activity centers on sites like Central Pellejas and numerous family estates including Hacienda Tres Hermanas, Hacienda Santa Elena, and Hacienda La Esperanza. The rugged topography is delineated by watercourses such as the Rio Vivi and Rio Grande, which feed into the reservoir at Lago Garzas in the southwest. Spiritual and social life is marked by the Iglesia de la Concepcion Inmaculada and the Iglesia de San Patricio. This survey captures the municipal intersections of Utuado, Jayuya, and Ponce, reflecting an era when mountain agriculture and the hacienda system remained the backbone of the local economy.
