About this map

Bayamón and its surrounding barrios undergo significant urbanization in this late-century record, showing the rapid expansion of residential developments like Levittown and Bayamón Gardens. The landscape is a complex mix of industrial infrastructure, such as the Planta Termoeléctrica De Palo Seco, and heavy military footprints including Fort Buchanan Military Res and the U S Naval Radio Station (R) Sabana Seca.

Coastal features near the Ensenada De Boca Vieja and Isla De Cabras contrast with the inland hills of Cerro Gordo. Educational and civic life is anchored by institutions like Interamerican University and numerous local schools such as Escuela Santa Rosa, while the Puerto Rico National Cemetery serves as a prominent landmark in the Hato Tejas area. The map illustrates the shifting boundary between the rural past of Mameyal and the growing metropolitan reach of the capital region.
