1946 Map of Aguas Buenas

About this map

Aguas Buenas sits at the heart of this mid-century interior survey, showing the complex social and topographic geography of central Puerto Rico. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the valley floor of the Río Grande de Loíza near Trujillo Alto to the high ridges of Altos de Mesa and Cerro Marquesa. Several specialized social institutions are mapped, including the Leprocomio and several consolidated rural schools such as the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Calmito and Escuela Segunda Unidad de Río Cañas, which reflect the era's focus on rural development and public health.
