1962 Map of Fajardo

About this map

Fajardo and its surrounding barrios serve as the focal point of this coastal region, where the town's expansion is documented through updated urban boundaries and infrastructure. The landscape transitions from the protected peaks of the Caribbean National Forest in the southwest down to the maritime activity at Puerto Real and Playa de Fajardo. Coastal landmarks include the Monserrate area and the sprawling Roosevelt Roads Naval Reservation at the southern edge of the survey. Inland, the map captures a network of rural settlements and schools like Escuela Peñón and Escuela Río Chiquito, alongside industrial sites such as the Cantera Fortuna. This 1962 revision, updated with 1970s aerial data, provides a detailed view of the region's development before modern resort expansion, specifically detailing the water systems like the Planta de Filtración and the historic Faro light at the northeast tip.
