1942 Map of Central La Plata

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The agricultural and industrial character of western Puerto Rico is documented here, showing the region as it appeared before mid-century modernization. The map's focal point is Central La Plata, a sugar mill hub in the north, while the southern landscape is defined by the winding course of the Rio Grande de Añasco. This period of land use is marked by numerous haciendas, reflecting a legacy of plantation agriculture. Names like Hacienda Morales, Hacienda Mata, and Hacienda Lambert appear throughout the valley, indicating significant family-held estates. The terrain is dominated by prominent peaks including Cerro Pelao and Cerro Goden, while educational infrastructure is represented by the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Anones. The map also captures the boundaries where the municipios of Moca, San Sebastián, and Añasco meet, providing a clear record of local political geography during the early 1940s.
