About this map

Rio Grande de Loiza snakes through the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, defining the boundaries between the municipal regions of Carolina and Trujillo Alto. The town of Gurabo anchors the southern portion of the map, situated at the confluence of the Rio Gurabo and Río Mamey. The topography is defined by significant ridges like Asomante and the sharp peaks of La Silla and Cerro Pitahaya, while the eastern edge reaches the fringes of El Yunque National Forest.

Social infrastructure of the early 1950s is well-documented, showing numerous educational centers such as the Escuela Abraham Lincoln and several rural second-unit schools like Escuela Segunda Unidad de Carrizos. A US Military Reservation is situated just west of the Gurabo town center, while smaller communities like Trujillo Bajo, Campo Rico, and Alto Nuevo are connected by a developing road network including routes 185 and 181.
