1946 Map of Barranquitas

About this map

Barranquitas serves as the central hub of this mid-century survey, surrounded by a complex network of schools and agricultural settlements in the interior mountains of Puerto Rico. The landscape is defined by its educational infrastructure, with numerous second-unit schools such as Escuela Segunda Unidad de Botijas No 2 and Escuela Segunda Unidad de Palo Hincado serving rural barrios like Botijas and Palo Hincado. In the southern portion of the map, the town of Aibonito is split into Pueblo Norte and Pueblo Sud, marking a significant population center near the Río Aibonito. The presence of Hacienda Córcega and various named ridges such as Asomante reflect the region's agricultural roots and steep topography. Waterways like the Río Usabón and Río Barranquitas carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural boundaries between municipal districts in the 1940s.
