1942 Map of Camuy

About this map

Rio Camuy carves a deep, winding canyon through the limestone karst landscape of northern Puerto Rico, serving as a prominent geographical divider south of the Atlantic Ocean. This 1942 edition, based on surveys from the late 1930s, illustrates the coastal settlements of Camuy and Hatillo linked by the American RR of Porto Rico. The region's agricultural and transit roots are evidenced by a dense network of naming trails such as Camino de los Carbones and Camino de la Arena, alongside numerous railroad sidings like Desvio Green and Desvio Campo Alegre. Inland, the map reveals a community structured around rural intersections and faith, including Iglesia Episcopal and Iglesia de Dios Pentecostal, while landmarks like Peñon Brusi and Pta Maracayo define the shoreline.
