About this map

Industrial sugar processing and coastal agriculture define this mid-1940s landscape along the northern coast of Puerto Rico. The prominent Central Plazuela and Central Monserrate facilities anchor the regional economy, connected by a dense network of roads and localized transport lines like Desvío Garrochales. The wetlands of Caño Tiburones dominate the western lowlands, while the Rio Grande De Manati carves a winding path toward the Atlantic at La Boca.

Inland, the terrain shifts into a series of steep hills and valleys, dotted with rural settlements and educational landmarks such as the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Sabana Hoyos. Small communities like Cruce Dávila and Sabana Hoyos are intricately mapped, showing the proximity of residential life to the sprawling agricultural estates. The detailed topography illustrates the transition from the fertile coastal plains to the more challenging southern elevations near Asomante.
