1953 Map of Corozal

About this map

Corozal and its central Pueblo district serve as the anchor for this 1953 topographic survey, which reveals the complex network of barrios and river systems in central Puerto Rico. The town's infrastructure is marked by the Acueducto de Corozal, while spiritual and educational centers like the Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción and the Escuela Vocacional Dr José Padín highlight the community's focal points. The landscape is deeply incised by the Río Cibuco and Río Mavilla, which wind through agricultural regions such as Candelaria and Padilla. Boundary lines for the Municipio de Corozal and neighboring Municipio de Vega Alta provide clear administrative context for researchers tracing local lineage. Notable landmarks like the Iglesia La Milagrosa in the south and various local schools, including Escuela Río Lajas, indicate a well-distributed rural population connected by growing roadways during the mid-century era.
