About this map

Caguas serves as a bustling urban and agricultural hub at the confluence of several major waterways, including the Rio Grande de Loiza and Rio Turabo. The 1964 revision highlights a landscape in transition, where established barrios like Canaboncito, Beatriz, and Tomas de Castro are connected by a developing road network, including the Autopista. This map provides a remarkable level of institutional detail within the city center, identifying the Alcaldia, Tribunal Superior, and a dense concentration of schools such as Escuela Superior Gautier Benitez and Escuela Notre Dame.

Surrounding the urban core, the terrain rises into the highlands of Cerro Las Piñas and Cerro Gregorio, where smaller settlements like San Salvador and Guavate maintain a more rural character. Local religious life is anchored by landmarks such as the Capilla del Sagrado Corazón and the Iglesia Evangelica Menonita, while industrial activities are marked by a Cantera and Gravera, reflecting the local extraction economy of the mid-20th century.
