1947 Map of Fajardo NO
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
Coastal sugar production and railway logistics dominate this late 1940s survey of the northeastern Puerto Rican shore. Luquillo is the primary urban center, situated between the Océano Atlántico and a landscape of concentrated agricultural estates. The prevalence of named agricultural colonies, such as Colonia Monserrate, Colonia San Miguel, and Colonia Margarita, indicates a land-use pattern focused on large-scale sugarcane cultivation. These estates are connected by the infrastructure of the Fajardo Development Company, whose narrow-gauge railroad lines thread through the lowlands to move crops toward the port.
