1952 Map of Florida

About this map

Agricultural haciendas define the mid-century landscape of this Puerto Rican interior, particularly throughout the barrios of Mameyes Arriba, Florida Adentro, and Sabana Hoyos. Centered on the town of Florida, the map details a region transitioning from its deep coffee and agricultural roots as aerial surveys from the 1940s meet the updated administrative oversight of the 1950s. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named estates such as Hacienda San José, Hacienda Las Abras, and Hacienda Flor de Alba, which serve as critical markers for local genealogical research.
