About this map

The waters of the Pasaje de San Juan and Sonda de Vieques surround the northeastern coastal tip of Puerto Rico, revealing a complex maritime landscape of reefs and cays. At the prominent headland of Cabezas, the Faro lighthouse stands sentinel near Cabo San Juan, overlooking the enclosed waters of Laguna Grande and the small coastal stretch of Playa Canalejo.

Extending into the Atlantic Ocean, the archipelago of La Cordillera includes numerous named features such as Cayo Icacos, Cayo Lobos, and the outlying Cayo Diablo. Further south, the map details significant navigational hazards and landmarks like Arrecife Roncador and Isla Palominitos. This maritime survey captures the transition from the mainland's Punta Gorda to the scattered islets, illustrating the seafaring geography of the region during the mid-20th century.
