1972 Map of Corozal

About this map

Corozal serves as the central hub of this inland Puerto Rican landscape, surrounded by a dense network of barrios and steep terrain. The 1972 survey highlights the educational infrastructure of the region, specifically identifying several "Segunda Unidad" schools like Escuela Segunda Unidad de Palmarejo and Escuela Segunda Unidad de Cienegueta, which reflect mid-century efforts to provide vocational and academic training in rural areas. Agriculture and land management are anchored by the Estación Experimental Agrícola, while family-named settlements like Ramón Pabón and Berríos indicate localized kinship clusters. The drainage system is remarkably intricate, defined by the winding Río de la Plata and uniquely named waterways such as Quebrada de los Muertos and Quebrada de las Minas, suggesting a landscape shaped by both water and mineral history near the prominent Cerro Santa Bárbara.
