About this map

The town of Gurabo sits at the confluence of the Río Gurabo and Río Mamey, serving as a focal point for the surrounding barrios in the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Río Grande de Loíza and numerous named quebradas, such as Quebrada Infierno and Quebrada Maracuta, which carve through the prominent ridges of Cuchilla de Hato Nuevo and Cuchilla el Asomante.

Social and economic life is marked by several regional schools, including the Escuela Abraham Lincoln and various "Segunda Unidad" vocational schools in Cacao and Carruzos. The presence of Eastern Sugar Associates infrastructure and the US Military Reservation Rincón highlights the era's agricultural and strategic land use. Local history is further preserved through labeled settlements like Trujillo Bajo, Alto Nuevo, and the Cementerio Rural de Gurabo.
