About this map

The coastal city of Fajardo serves as the focal point of this 1962 survey, revealing the urban layout of its four central districts: Pueblo Norte, Pueblo Sur, Pueblo Este, and Pueblo Oeste. At the edge of the Sonda de Vieques, the active maritime character of Puerto Real and the Bahia de Fajardo contrast with the nearby Roosevelt Roads Naval Reservation to the south.

Further west along the shoreline, Luquillo is defined by the Playa de Luquillo and the surrounding agricultural barrios like Mata de Platano and Juan Martin. The landscape rises sharply from the Atlantic Ocean into the densely forested peaks of the Caribbean National Forest and the Sierra de Luquillo. The map meticulously tracks the many small waterways, such as the Rio Fajardo and Rio Mameyes, that descend from these heights to the sea, alongside local landmarks like Escuela Penon and the Antena de Radio.
