1957 Map of Camuy

About this map

The coastal towns of Camuy and Hatillo anchor this mid-century survey along the north coast of Puerto Rico. The landscape transitions from the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, marked by rocky features like Peñón Brusi and Pta Maracayo, into the densely vegetated limestone hills of the interior. A complex network of local roads and paths, such as Camino de Santa Isabel and Camino del Agua, connects rural barrios including Cienagas, Abra Honda, and Corcovado. The deeply incised channel of the Río Camuy forms a prominent boundary between municipalities. Local life is documented through specific cultural landmarks like the Iglesia Ernesto Memorial, the Escuela Adrián Martínez Gandía, and the unique inland settlement of Radioville, which hosted the Antena de Radio (WMIA) transmitter.
