1950 Map of Culebra And Adjacent Islands

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Culebra serves as the central hub of this 1950 survey, which details the intricate coastline and surrounding archipelagos of this Puerto Rican municipality. The map reveals a landscape defined by deep-water inlets and protected lagoons, with the settlement itself situated on the Bahía de Sardinas. The interior terrain is divided into several districts, including Playa Sardinas I and Playa Sardinas II, while the surrounding waters are dotted with smaller islands like Cayo Norte and Isla Culebrita. Significant coastal features such as Ensenada Honda and Ensenada del Cementerio highlight the maritime nature of the community. To the north, the horseshoe-shaped Bahía Flamenco and its adjacent Laguna del Flamenco represent the island's unique shoreline. This topographic study, produced shortly after World War II, documents the geography of the Spanish Virgin Islands before mid-century modernization altered the local footprint.
