About this map

Coamo serves as the central hub of this 1960 revision, situated where the Río Coamo winds through the southern foothills of the Cordillera Central. The landscape is a transition from the dense urban grid of the town, featuring landmarks like the Parque Atlético and the Planta de Filtración, to the agricultural and natural features of the surrounding barrios. Genealogists and historians will find significant detail in the southern reaches of the map, where Hacienda Buena Vista and Hacienda Esmeralda mark the land's plantation history near Cuevas.

The eastern portion of the survey is dominated by the U S Military Reservation Salinas Training Area, which spans across the rugged terrain of Cerro Pío Juan. Notable local sites like the Baños de Coamo and the Escuela Federico Degetau provide specific points of interest for those tracing the social and educational infrastructure of the mid-century. The topography is defined by numerous quebradas, including Quebrada Grande and Quebrada Honda, which drain the steep ridges of Cerro Presidio toward the coastal plains.
