1948 Map of Culebra And Adjacent Islands

About this map

The town of Culebra serves as the central hub of this island geography, situated at the head of a complex harbor system. This 1948 survey by the Geological Survey and the Hydrographic Office details a landscape defined by deep inlets and protective cays. Residential areas are concentrated at Playa Sardinas I and Playa Sardinas II, bordering the sheltered waters of Bahía de Sardinas. The interior terrain rises toward Monte Resaca and Cerro Balcón, while the coastline is punctuated by dozens of named points and coves, from Pta del Soldado in the south to the northern reaches of the Península Flamenco.
