1947 Map of Central Aquirre SO

About this map

Bahía de Jobos defines the northern reaches of this coastal survey, where the waters of the Mar Caribe meet the southern shore of Puerto Rico. Conducted in 1943, this topography captures a landscape dominated by saltwater systems and mangrove-dotted cays. The map illustrates the maritime boundary between the Municipio de Salinas and the Municipio de Guayama, an area defined by natural landmarks like the Boca del Infierno channel. Numerous small islands, including the Cayos de Barca and Cayos Caribes, stretch across the bay, while coastal points such as Pta Colchones and Pta Pozuelo anchor the shoreline. This specialized view focuses almost entirely on the complex geography of the archipelago and the protected waters of the bay during the mid-1940s.
