About this map

The town of Cayey and its surrounding barrios serve as the hub for this 1946 study of the Cordillera Central mountains. The map illustrates a transitional landscape where the urban centers of Pueblo Norte and Pueblo Sud meet the rural hacienda economy. Notable agricultural landmarks include Hacienda Húcar, Hacienda Julia, and Hacienda Quebrada Clavell, reflecting the area's mid-century land use.

Infrastructure is defined by the historic Carretera Central and the expansive U. S. Military Reservation, which occupies significant terrain east of the town center. The complex topography is drained by a dense network of waterways like the Río de la Plata and Río Majada. From the Casa del Gobernador to the Capilla de Santa Marta, the map documents the religious, political, and economic foundations of this mountain community.
