1964 Map of Central La Plata

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The agricultural landscape of northwestern Puerto Rico is defined by the winding course of the Rio Grande de Anasco and the Rio Culebrinas. This 1964 revision reveals a region transitioning from traditional hacienda-based landholding to modern infrastructure, centered around the Central La Plata sugar mill. Family names and local history are etched into the terrain through numerous named estates like Hacienda Esperanza, Hacienda Mata, and Hacienda Morales, which dot the valleys of Rio Arriba and Casey Arriba. The presence of the Antigua Via del Ferrocarril marks the former path of the rail system that once connected these inland agricultural hubs to coastal markets. Higher elevations such as Cerro Gordo and Cerro Pichon overlook a network of rural schools, including Escuela Joaquin Oronoz Rodon and Escuela Las Rosas No 2, serving the dispersed barrios.
