1950 Map of Arecibo NO

About this map

The industrial and agricultural center of Central Cambalache anchors the southern landscape of this coastal survey, where the Rio Grande de Arecibo winds toward the Atlantic. In the mid-twentieth century, Arecibo served as a vital hub for northern Puerto Rico, its dense urban core bounded by the coastal road La Marina and the neighborhood of El Vigía. The American Railroad cuts through the region, connecting the Estación Arecibo with the sugar processing facilities of the southern barrios.
