1946 Map of Corozal

About this map

Corozal serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the confluence of the Río Cibuco and Río Corozal. The 1940s landscape is defined by its agricultural and social infrastructure, evidenced by numerous rural schools like the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Palmarejo and the Escuela Vocacional Dr Jose Padin. Spiritual life is centered at the Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción and Iglesia La Milagrosa, while the Acueducto de Corozal highlights the era's development of public utilities. The terrain is deeply dissected by a network of waterways including the Río Grande de Manatí and the uniquely named Quebrada de los Muertos. This document captures the intricate system of barrios and municipios that organized the region, from Dos Bocas to Palos Blancos, before modern highway expansions altered the traditional interior routes.
