1947 Map of Bayaney NO

About this map

The complex karst topography of northwestern Puerto Rico dominates this 1940s landscape, where the confluence of several jurisdictions meets in a rugged interior. Based on 1943 topography, this map shows the convergence of the Municipio de Camuy, Municipio de Lares, Municipio de Hatillo, and Municipio de Utuado. The intricate contour lines reveal the dramatic limestone sinkholes and haycock hills characteristic of the region, interspersed with a network of rural dwellings and winding roads. A primary community focal point is the Escuela Theodore Roosevelt, situated along one of the area's main thoroughfares. This survey provides a precise look at the transition from agriculture to increasing settlement in the mid-century, capturing the precise layout of local boundaries and property structures during the Orlando R. M ndez administration.
