About this map

The coastal towns of Camuy and Hatillo anchor this pre-war survey of Puerto Rico's northern shore. The American RR of Porto Rico traces the coastline, connecting these agricultural and maritime hubs while service spurs like Desvio Green and Desvio Hoya Caña reach into the inland sugarcane or tobacco country. The interior landscape is defined by the deep incision of the Rio Camuy, which cuts through the karst terrain toward the Atlantic Ocean.

Social and local connectivity is evidenced by a network of named trails and roads, such as Camino Matojillo and Camino de Santiago. Local landmarks including the Iglesia Santa Teresita and the Iglesia de Dios Pentecostal serve as community anchors. The map also captures specific industrial and transit points like Salto Maquina and Estacion Cuchi, reflecting the early 20th-century economic structure of the island.
