1946 Map of Fajardo

About this map

The agricultural landscape of northeast Puerto Rico is defined here by a dense network of colonias, illustrating the region's intensive land use and social structure in the mid-1940s. Centered around Fajardo, the map captures the transition from the mountainous interior to the coastal plains of the Océano Atlántico. Numerous sugar estates or settlement clusters like Colonia Monserrate, Colonia San Pedro, and Colonia Santa Rita are scattered across the terrain, connected by the Fajardo Development roads and the local Transmisión lines.
