1950 Map of Culebra And Adjacent Islands

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Culebra serves as the primary hub of this 1950 coastal survey, which details the intricate archipelago between the Océano Atlántico and the Sonda de Vieques. The settlement pattern centers on the deep harbor of Ensenada Honda, with residential clusters at Playa Sardinas I and Playa Sardinas II framing the sheltered Bahía de Sardinas. The landscape is defined by its dramatic peninsular reaches, such as the Península Flamenco, and several interior lagoons including Laguna del Flamenco and Laguna de Cornelio. Surrounding the main island, numerous smaller keys like Cayo de Luis Peña and Cayo Norte illustrate the navigational complexity of the Canal de Cayo Norte. This map captures the island's mid-century geography before the expansion of modern tourism infrastructure, focusing on the natural coastline and established harbor sites like Ensenada del Cementerio.
