1952 Map of Bayaney

About this map

The rugged interior topography of north-central Puerto Rico is depicted in this 1952 revision of 1943 surveys. The landscape is dominated by the complex drainage systems of the Rio Camuy, Rio Guajataca, and Rio Tanama, which carve through the limestone karst and high terrain of barrios like Aibonito and Callejones. The settlement pattern follows the serpentine mountain roads, centered on the communities of Bayaney and Angeles. A notable density of educational sites, such as the Escuela Theodore Roosevelt and the Escuela Intermedia Santiago R. Palmer, underscores the local commitment to public works under the administration of Secretary Roberto Sanchez Vilella. These schools, often the focal point of rural barrios like Caguana, provide vital landmarks for genealogists tracing family roots in the mountainous Pueblo district and surrounding municipalities.
