About this map

Corozal sits at the heart of this mid-1940s landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding rural communities and mountainous interior. The terrain is defined by the Montañas de Corozal and a dense network of watercourses, including the Río Grande de Manatí and Río de la Plata. This era shows a significant investment in local infrastructure through several vocational and primary schools, such as the Escuela Segunda Unidad José Barreras Martínez and the Escuela Vocacional Dr. José Padín.

The presence of the Acueducto de Corozal and the landmark Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción highlights the civic and spiritual centers of the municipality. Smaller settlements like Matacanes are linked by a developing road system including State Route 10 and State Route 20, illustrating the connectivity between these highland agricultural zones and neighboring districts like the Municipio de Vega Alta.
