1957 Map of Ciales

About this map

Ciales and Morovis serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century portrait of interior Puerto Rico, where the winding Rio Grande de Manati carves deep valleys through the limestone karst and cordillera. The landscape is defined by the transition from agriculture to community centers, evidenced by the numerous specialized educational sites like Escuela Dr Liborio Cordova and Escuela Segunda Unidad de Pozas. Smaller rural settlements and family estates such as Hacienda Maria are connected by a developing network of island routes, including Highway 149.
