About this map

Corozal serves as the central hub of this mid-1940s landscape, where the town's early infrastructure is anchored by the Acueducto de Corozal and cultural life centers on the Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción. The region is defined by the steep ridges of the Montañas de Corozal, where a network of schools such as the Escuela Vocacional Dr. José Padín and the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Palmarejo highlight a period of rural educational development.

A dense hydrological system shapes the terrain, with the Río de la Plata and Río Cibuco cutting through the mountains. Smaller settlements like Matacanas and El Salto Grande appear alongside named waterways including Quebrada Arenas and Quebrada Prieto. This survey captures the municipal boundaries connecting Vega Alta, Toa Alta, and Naranjito, providing a detailed view of the Puerto Rican interior's topography and community layout during the post-war era.
