1964 Map of Central La Plata

About this map

Central La Plata and its surrounding sugar-producing landscape define this mid-century survey of the interior between San Sebastián and Añasco. The map reveals a dense agricultural network of named haciendas, including Hacienda Esperanza, Hacienda Bermudez, and Hacienda Mata, situated along the winding course of the Rio Grande de Añasco. This period in the 1960s captures the transition of the local economy, where the Ferrocarril and Antigua Via del Ferrocarril trace the historical movement of goods through the valleys.
