1960 Map of Aguadilla

About this map

The northwestern coast of Puerto Rico is dominated by the sprawling infrastructure of the Ramey Air Force Base and the port city of Aguadilla in this 1960 revision. The map details the transition from military installations and the Punta Borinquen lighthouse area to the dense urban Barrios of Tamarindo and Santa Bárbara. Transportation history is evident through the marked Ferrocarril del Oeste and the Antigua Via del Ferrocarril, tracing the path of former rail lines through the sugar-growing lowlands near the Río Culebrinas. Inland, the terrain rises sharply into the Cordillera Jaicoa, where rural settlements like Caimital Alto and Camaceyes are situated among complex topography. Cultural landmarks such as the Colegio San Carlos and the Aguada Parque de Colón reflect the social and civic center of the region during the mid-twentieth century.
