About this map

Industrial sugar production and rail transport define the coastal plains of Barceloneta during the late 1960s. The presence of the Central Plazuela and Central Monserrate facilities highlights the region's agricultural economy, supported by the Ferrocarril del Oeste and the Pista Nachos. The landscape is divided between the marshy lowlands of the Cano Tiburones and the hilly southern sectors of Florida Adentro.

Educational centers like the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Eugenio M. de Hostos serve established communities such as Garrochales and Islote. Coastal geography is marked by distinctive points like Punta Palmas Altas and Punta Manatí, while the Rio Grande de Manati snakes along the eastern boundary. This survey captures a transition in local infrastructure, showing the Planta de Tratamiento de Aguas Negras alongside traditional settlements like La Boca and Cruce Dávila.
