1953 Map of Comerio

About this map

Rio De La Plata carves a deep, winding path through this central mountain landscape, serving as the primary geographical anchor for the town of Comerio. This mid-century survey documents the region's educational and social infrastructure through a network of rural schools, including the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Palomas and Escuela Segunda Unidad de Toita. The map reflects a period of development where established centers like Cidra are connected by narrow mountain routes to smaller barrios and agricultural areas. Evidence of local planning and community organization appears in labels like Proyecto La Plata and the Centro Comunal Nogueras, providing a detailed look at the island's interior before the significant urban expansion of later decades. Numerous named quebradas, such as Quebrada Dona Elena and Quebrada Bayamoncito, illustrate the intricate drainage patterns that define the local terrain.
