1952 Map of Guayama

About this map

Sugar production and coastal commerce define this 1950s landscape along the southern coast of Puerto Rico. The urban centers of Guayama and Arroyo anchor a region dominated by industrial agriculture, evidenced by the presence of Central Lafayette and Central Machete. These mills are supported by an extensive network of agrarian outposts such as Colonia Vives, Colonia Santa Elena, and Hacienda Felicia. The map illustrates the transition from the upland foothills of Corazon and Pitahaya down to the coastal plains where irrigation canals, including the Canal de Guamaní Oeste, lattice the sugarcane fields.
