Guayama anchors this coastal survey, revealing the industrial and agricultural landscape of southeastern Puerto Rico as it appeared during the mid-to-late 20th century. The region's economy is clearly defined by sugar production, evidenced by the prominent Central Lafayette and Central Machete sugar mills, which served as focal points for nearby settlements like Arroyo and Pueblo Oeste. Large estates and named tracts such as Hacienda Felicia and Santa Elena are interspersed with an intricate network of irrigation canals, including the Canal de Guamaní and Canal de Patillas, which were essential for the local cane fields.
