1964 Map of Arecibo

About this map

The Rio Grande de Arecibo carves a deep path through this coastal landscape, meeting the Atlantic Ocean at the city of Arecibo. The 1960s-era topography reveals a region defined by the sugar industry and maritime trade, with Central Cambalache and Central Los Caños serving as major industrial anchors. South of the urban center, the terrain transitions into the limestone haystack hills of Arenalejos and Miraflores, while the eastern coast is dominated by the vast wetlands of the Cienaga Tiburones.
