1946 Map of Bayaney

About this map

Bayaney serves as a primary village hub in this mid-century survey, situated within a complex network of municipal boundaries that intersect across the interior of Puerto Rico. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Río Camuy and Río Guajataca, alongside smaller waterways like Hoyo Caña and Quebrada de la Palma. This period shows a significant investment in rural education, evidenced by several named school sites including Escuela Theodore Roosevelt and Escuela Segunda Unidad de Caguana. Topographical landmarks like Cerro Palma and Cerro La Torre dominate the central terrain. The map meticulously records the municipal borders where Camuy, Hatillo, Lares, Arecibo, and Utuado meet, reflecting the complex administrative geography of the region just after the Second World War.
