1960 Map of Adjuntas

About this map

The town of Adjuntas serves as the central hub in this high-altitude landscape of Puerto Rico, where the municipal boundaries of Utuado, Ponce, and Peñuelas meet. The geography is defined by its agricultural heritage, evidenced by the numerous haciendas like Hacienda Artau, Hacienda La Esperanza, and Hacienda Jauca that are distributed across the mountain slopes. These estates, combined with the presence of several country schools such as Escuela Segunda Unidad Salto Arriba and Escuela Lucas Valdivieso, suggest a dispersed but structured rural community. Significant water resources including Lago Caonillas and Lago Garzas are shown alongside prominent peaks such as Cerro Morales and Cerro El Gigante, while religious life is anchored by landmarks like the Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción and the Iglesia de San Patricio.
