1957 Map of Florida

About this map

The town of Florida and its surrounding highlands in central Puerto Rico appear here at a moment of transition during the mid-20th century. While the town center is clearly established in the north, the landscape is defined by its agricultural legacy, with numerous named haciendas such as Hacienda San José and Hacienda Piedra Gorda scattered across the interior. The map illustrates a complex network of municipal boundaries, including Municipio de Arecibo and Municipio de Ciales, indicating the intricate administrative and social divisions of the era.
