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.
