1953 Map of Barranquitas

About this map

Barranquitas and Aibonito anchor this mid-century survey of the Puerto Rican interior, where the high ridges of the Cordillera Central dictate the pattern of settlement. The landscape is characterized by its agricultural heritage, with Hacienda Córcega and Casa Manresa appearing alongside a network of rural schools, such as the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Helechal and Escuela Segunda Unidad de Palo Hincado. These "Second Unit" schools were critical social centers for the upland barrios during this era of rural development.
