1947 Map of Adjuntas NO

About this map

Agricultural haciendas define the interior highlands of the Municipio de Adjuntas in the years following World War II. This 1:10,000 scale survey, issued by the United States Department of the Interior, reveals a landscape of coffee and sugar production centered around the Central Pellejas and family-named estates like Hacienda Santa Elena. The rugged topography is carved by the Rio Grande de Arecibo and its tributary, the Rio Pellejas, which follow winding paths through the steep mountains. Local landmarks such as Cerro La Chorrera and Mte Hormiga tower over the network of rural roads connecting Hacienda Artau and Hacienda Tres Hermanas. The map clearly delineates the municipal boundary with the Municipio de Utuado, providing a detailed view of the settlement patterns and land use in Puerto Rico's central cordillera during the mid-20th century.
