1941 Map of Bayamon

About this map

Central Juanita and the surrounding sugar economy dominate this pre-war coastal landscape, where the American Railroad and its industrial spurs connect the inland hills to the Atlantic shore. The town of Bayamon serves as a hub of activity, featuring the Estacion Bayamon and the large Hospital de Distrito de Bayamon. To the north, the coastline is defined by the Ensenada de Boca Vieja and the fishing village of Palo Seco, while the western edge is bounded by the winding Rio de la Plata. Numerous agricultural settlements like Sabana Seca and Colonia Campanilla are dispersed throughout the terrain, linked by the Linea Ferrea and local roads. The map captures an era of plantation agriculture and early institutional development before the rapid urban expansion of the late 20th century, visible in the cluster of churches such as Iglesia Evangelica and the layout of the Terrenos Publicos near the coast.
