1962 Map of Gurabo

About this map

Gurabo serves as a primary hub in this valley landscape where the Río Gurabo and Río Brewer meet. The settlement pattern follows the intricate drainage system of the Río Grande de Loíza, with various schools like the Escuela Abraham Lincoln and Escuela Juan Osuna serving rural barrios. To the northeast, the terrain rises into the Caribbean National Forest, marked by the prominent Cerro Pitahaya. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by several Gravero and Cantera sites, alongside the Planta de Tratamiento de Aguas Negras near the river. This mid-century view captures the transition between the agricultural lowlands and the protected highlands of the Luquillo range, including landmarks like the Cementerio Rural de Gurabo and the Iglesia El Tabor in Campo Rico.
