1953 Map of Corozal

About this map

Corozal and its central Pueblo district serve as the anchor for this mid-century topographic study of central Puerto Rico. The town's religious and civic heart is marked by the Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción, while the Acueducto de Corozal highlights the era's infrastructure near the banks of the Río Cibuco. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain streams and barrios, including Candelaria and Cedro Abajo, connected by winding routes like 159. Significant educational landmarks are scattered throughout the interior, such as the Escuela Segunda Unidad José Barreras Martínez and the Escuela Virgilio Morales. To the south, the landscape descends toward the Río Grande de Manatí, reflecting a rural economy tied to the land and its rivers in the years following World War II.
