1952 Map of Gurabo

About this map

The Río Grande de Loíza and Río Gurabo define the low-lying agricultural corridors of this mid-century survey, where the town of Gurabo sits at the junction of critical regional routes. The landscape transitions from the river valleys into the steep ridges of Cuchilla de Hato Nuevo and Cerro Gordo, illustrating the traditional settlement patterns of the era. Significant communal infrastructure is mapped throughout the barrios, including the Cementerio Rural de Gurabo and a network of rural schools like the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Cacao and Escuela Abraham Lincoln. A U.S. Military Reservation occupies land in the southwest, while the intricate municipal boundaries between Carolina, Trujillo Alto, and Gurabo trace the high crests of the Quebrada Grande and Quebrada Negrito watersheds.
