1941 Map of Isabela

About this map

The coastal municipality of Municipio de Isabela is defined by its dramatic position overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Revised in the late 1930s, this survey highlights the primary settlement of Isabela and its vital transport links, including the A RR of PR corridor and the winding Camino Jobos. The landscape transitions from the rugged shoreline at Pta Jacinto and Pta Sardina to the agricultural interior where local community life centered on landmarks like the Iglesia Presbiteriana de Montaña and Iglesia Catolica. Smaller settlements such as San Antonio and Aguacate are documented, providing a precise look at the rural settlement patterns and local infrastructure of Northwest Puerto Rico before mid-century modernization transformed the region.
