About this map

Santa Isabel and the surrounding karst interior of northwest Puerto Rico are documented in this mid-century topographic study. The landscape is defined by the complex topography of Abra Honda and Pedro Gordo, where the subterranean and surface water systems create distinctive features like Ojo Del Agua and the winding course of the Rio Camuy. Small agrarian settlements including Martinez, Matojillo, and La Cuesta are connected by a network of local roads labeled simply as Camino.

The boundary between Municipio de Camuy and Municipio Hatillo cuts through a region of deep valleys and limestone formations. The mapping reflects the rural character of the area prior to significant modern development, emphasizing water sources like Salto Maguaca and the broad terrain zones of Cibao and Naranjito. This record is essential for tracing family landholdings and the historical placement of homes and water rights in the Camuy river basin.
