1947 Map of Corozal SE

About this map

The Montañas de Corozal dominate this 1943 topographic survey, revealing a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and a dense network of mountain streams. This preliminary map captures the interior of Puerto Rico at a scale of 1:10,000, offering a granular look at the intricate drainages of the Río Grande de Manatí and its tributaries, including the Rio de los Negros and Quebrada Manatí. The high-resolution contour lines illustrate the vertical complexity of the region as it was documented by Orlando R. Méndez and the Department of the Interior. Political boundaries are meticulously plotted where the Municipio de Corozal, Municipio de Naranjito, and Municipio de Comerio meet, providing a rare technical record of these municipal borders before mid-century development altered the rural character of the highlands.
