About this map

Humacao and its neighboring hills define this 1967 survey, capturing a period of significant urban expansion and industrial infrastructure on Puerto Rico’s eastern coast. The city center is surrounded by several established barrios such as Patagonia and San Juan, while the Universidad de Puerto Rico and Aeropuerto de Humacao underscore the regional importance of the area. To the north, the terrain rises into the Caribbean National Forest, where the Planta Hidroel’ctrica de R’o Blanco marks a vital piece of the island's energy history.

Along the coast, Punta Santiago and the Balneario P’blico de Humacao stand as key coastal landmarks, while the inland is dotted with a dense network of local schools like Escuela Mambiche Blanco and Escuela Pe–a Pobre Arriba. The presence of the Ferrocarril and various plantations like Pasto Viejo reflects the enduring agricultural and transit patterns that shaped the landscape before the late 20th-century development shown in the 1982 revisions.
