1952 Map of Caguas

About this map

Caguas serves as the focal point of this 1952 topographic survey, depicting the municipality during a period of transition between its agrarian roots and growing urban presence. The influence of the sugar industry is clearly visible with the presence of Central Santa Juana and Central Defensa, indicating the economic importance of sugarcane processing in the Rio Grande de Loiza basin. Modern infrastructure of the era is represented by the Antena de Radio WVJP and the Tanque de Alcantarillado near the town center.
