1969 Map of Barceloneta

About this map

The Rio Grande de Manati meanders through this coastal landscape, defining the transition from the Atlantic shoreline to the interior hills. The 1969 field-checked data captures the region's agricultural and industrial layout, notably the Central Plazuela and Central Monserrate sugar mill sites, which were central to the local economy. In the low-lying northern section, the Caño Tiburones drainage canal system dominates the Islote and Garrochales districts, illustrating the engineering efforts to reclaim coastal wetlands for cultivation.
