1969 Map of Aguas Buenas

About this map

Aguas Buenas and the surrounding municipalities of Guaynabo, San Juan, and Caguas appear here during a period of significant suburban expansion and infrastructure development in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Rio Grande de Loiza and the expansive Lago Loiza, which serves as a central hydrological feature. Residential developments like Beverly Hills, Parkville, and Villa Clementina illustrate the growing urbanization spreading south from San Juan. Local educational and social history is deeply embedded in the map's numerous rural schools, such as Escuela Mamey Centro and Escuela Hato Nuevo, alongside specialized institutions like the Antilles Military Academy and the Leprocomio. From the industrial Cantera sites to the religious landmarks like Nuestra Senora del Pilar, the map documents the varied social fabric of the region.
