1957 Map of Barceloneta

About this map

Central Plazuela stands as a focal point of the northern coastal plains, illustrating the industrial landscape of the late 1950s near the mouth of the Río Grande de Manatí. This survey captures a transitional period in Puerto Rico's history, where agriculture and sugar production remained central to the local economy alongside the rising importance of transportation routes. The landscape transitions from the coastal lowlands of Palmas Altas and the wetlands of Ciénaga Tiburones to the distinctive karst topography of the interior.
