1946 Map of Caguas

About this map

Caguas sits at a critical junction of Puerto Rico's interior in the mid-1940s, serving as a hub where the Rio Grande de Loiza meets several major tributaries. The landscape is defined by the sugar industry, prominently featuring the Central Santa Juana and Central Defensa processing facilities north of the main settlement. These industrial centers are connected by a network of roads including routes 7, 1, and 5, which thread through the varied topography of Cerro del Palito and Cerro Las Piñas.
