1960 Map of Adjuntas

About this map

Adjuntas sits at the heart of this 1960 survey, serving as a mountain hub where the headwaters of major river systems like the Rio Grande de Arecibo and Rio Portugués begin their descent. The landscape is defined by traditional coffee-growing estates, including Hacienda La Esperanza, Hacienda El Progreso, and Hacienda Jauca, which reflect the agricultural heritage of the Cordillera Central. Infrastructure of the era is remarkably detailed, showing the Hidroeléctrica Vivi 2 and a network of tunnels connecting various reservoirs such as Lago Garzas and Lago Pellejas. Religious and educational life is anchored by local landmarks like the Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción and the Escuela Segunda Unidad Salto Arriba. High peaks including Cerro El Gigante and Cerro La Bandera overlook a complex topography of deep valleys and winding mountain roads that connect the various barrios and municipios.
