About this map

Gurabo sits at the southern edge of this mid-century survey, positioned near the junction of the Río Gurabo and the sprawling agricultural infrastructure of the Eastern Sugar Associates. The landscape transitions from the river valley into the high ridges of the Cuchilla de Hato Nuevo and Cuchilla Asomante, where scattered rural settlements like Canto de Sapo and Cambute are connected by a network of winding mountain roads.

A notable characteristic of this era is the concentration of educational centers in the rural interior, including the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Cacao and Escuela Segunda Unidad de Carruzos. To the northwest, the Río Grande de Loíza carves through the terrain near Trujillo Bajo, while a significant Military Reservation occupies the southwestern corner, reflecting the diverse land use in the region during the 1940s.
