1957 Map of Caguas

About this map

Caguas serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, positioned at a vital crossroads where the Rio Grande de Loiza meets major regional routes. The map illustrates a transitional period for the area, balancing industrial processing at the Central Santa Juana and the Planta de Purificación with the traditional agricultural character of the surrounding barrios. In the upland areas to the south and west, the terrain is marked by high points like Cerro Las Piñas and Cerro Gregorio, while smaller settlements such as Sumidero, Cañaboncito, and Turabo appear connected by a growing network of insular routes.
