About this map

Bayaney and its surrounding barrios are depicted in this 1970 survey, revealing a landscape where mountainous terrain dictates the patterns of settlement and infrastructure. The map highlights significant regional education and religion through the Iglesia Cristo Rey and specialized schools like the Escuela Domingo Arana Marquez. The deep-cut paths of the Rio Camuy and Rio Tanama carve through the limestone karst, while the inclusion of the Observatorio de Arecibo signals the island's role in modern scientific advancement during this era.

Local history and indigenous heritage are anchored by the Parque Ceremonial de Indigena Caguana in the south, preserving a pre-colonial footprint amidst a network of rural hamlets like Matilde and Milagros. Natural features such as Cueva Pajita further illustrate the unique geology of the region, while labels like Planta de Purificacion indicate the localized development of public works essential to these upland communities.
