1942 Map of Aguadilla

About this map

Iglesia Aguadilla and the urban core of Aguadilla anchor this mid-century survey of Puerto Rico's northwestern coastline. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the coastal flats of the Bahia de Aguadilla to the steep limestone terrain of the Cerros Asomante. Large tracts of land are dedicated to the Reservación Militar in the north, while the southern reaches near Aguada show a dense network of watercourses like the Rio Guayabo and Caño Madre Vieja. The industrial footprint of the era is evident in the American Railroad line, which skirts the coast to serve settlements such as Coloso and Victoria. Local landmarks including the Acueducto and Parque de Colon offer specific points of interest for those tracing the historical development of these coastal municipios before modern expansion reshaped the shoreline.
