1957 Map of Comerio

About this map

Comerio and Cidra anchor this mid-century portrait of Puerto Rico's central highlands, where the dramatic topography is carved by the Rio de la Plata. The map illustrates a landscape in transition, where established barrios like Vega Redonda and Dona Elena are connected by a growing network of insular routes including PR 156 and PR 172. Educational infrastructure is particularly well-documented, featuring institutions such as the Escuela Superior de Comerio and the Escuela Vocacional Eugenio Maria de Hostos. To the southeast, the development around Lago Cidra and the settlement of Vegas near Central Cayey reflect the regional patterns of water management and local industry. The dense network of mountain peaks, including Cerro La Tiza and Cerro Maguayo, underscores the isolation and distinct character of the various sectors within the boundary of Comerio and Cidra.
