1942 Map of Central La Plata

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The agricultural heart of western Puerto Rico is defined here by the winding Rio Grande de Anasco, which carves through the steep interior topography between San Sebastián and Añasco. At the start of the 1940s, the landscape was a mosaic of large estates and family holdings, including Hacienda Mata, Hacienda Lambertty, and Finca San Miguel. The industrial presence of Central La Plata in the northeast anchor the local economy, while the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Anones serves as a critical community landmark in the southern hills. Notable peaks like Cerro Tirano and Cerro Valladares rise above numerous tributaries such as Quebrada Salada and Quebrada de las Cañas, illustrating the complex drainage patterns and challenging terrain that shaped early transportation routes like Carretera No. 2.
