1964 Map of Caguas

About this map

Caguas undergoes significant mid-century expansion in this mid-1960s survey, showing the emergence of residential developments like Villa Blanca and Villa del Rey against the traditional urban core. The Río Grande de Loíza and Río Turabo converge near the city center, which remains the civic heart of the region with its Alcaldía, Tribunal Superior, and the prominent Notre Dame church. The landscape transitions from these dense urbanized zones into the agricultural and rugged surroundings of barrios like Cañabón and Guavate. Local social infrastructure is densely mapped, featuring numerous rural schools such as Escuela La Sierra and Escuela Certenejas, alongside religious sites like the Capilla del Sagrado Corazón. Traces of local industry and utilities are evident through landmarks like the Pista de Aterrizaje and several Cantera sites, reflecting a period of active growth and modernization in the Puerto Rican interior.
