About this map

The coastal city of Aguadilla anchors this northwestern Puerto Rican landscape, where the foothills of the Cordillera Central meet the Aguadilla Bay. Surveyed between the early 1920s and late 1930s, the map reveals a region defined by its sugar industry and maritime importance. The American Railroad of Porto Rico traces the coastline and inland plains, connecting vital processing centers like Central Palma and Central Maleza Baja.

Strategic landmarks line the shore, including the Pta Borinquen L H and the historic Iglesia de la Concepcion in the urban center of Victoria. To the south, the Rio Culebrinas meanders through a landscape dotted with rural settlements such as Aguada and Coloso. This survey captures the infrastructure of pre-war Puerto Rico, from the municipal boundaries of Municipio de Moca to the prominent heights of Cerro Punta Gorda.
