About this map

The town of Comerio sits along the winding course of the Rio La Plata, serving as a focal point for the mountain interior during the mid-1940s. The landscape is defined by its deep river valleys and high peaks, including Cerro La Tiza and Cerro Santa Barbara. Significant social infrastructure is evident through the placement of rural educational centers such as the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Palomas and the Escuela Superior de Comerio.

Further south, the map illustrates the growing settlement at Cidra and the industrial presence at Central Cayey. The density of named streams, from Quebrada Dona Elena to Quebrada Arroyata, highlights the complex hydrology that dictated agricultural and transport patterns in this period. The transition between municipalities is clearly marked by surveyors, showing the intersections of Cidra, Comerio, and Aguas Buenas.
