1942 Map of Central La Plata

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Central La Plata is defined by a dense network of mountain barrios and industrial estates surveyed in the years before World War II. Large estates such as Hacienda Morales, Hacienda Lamberti, and Hacienda Esperanza anchor the rural economy, while the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Anones serves the inland communities. The winding course of the Rio Grande de Añasco and the Rio Culebrinas cut through the complex topography of peaks like Cerro Pelao and Cerro Pichon. Local transportation routes include the Camino del Indio and Vereda 1, which connect the various haciendas and fincas to the municipal boundaries of San Sebastian, Moca, and Añasco.
