1952 Map of Aguas Buenas

About this map

Aguas Buenas sits at the southern edge of this mid-century landscape, a region defined by the complex transition from the urban fringes of San Juan to the interior hills. The 1952 revision captures a network of rural schools and small settlements connected by the primary artery of PR 1, which cuts a path from Guaynabo toward the south. Along the eastern reaches, the Rio Grande de Loiza and the Aljibe las Curias reservoir anchor the local hydrology. Notable landmarks of the era include the Antena de Radio (WAPA) and the Leprocomio medical facility. Educational hubs like the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Rio Cañas and Escuela Mariano Abril serve as focal points for the surrounding barrios. The topography is meticulously detailed, showing the ridge lines of Altos de la Mesa and the winding course of the Rio Bayamon.
