1947 Map of Isla De Vieques 4

About this map

Coastal agricultural and residential patterns define the southern reaches of Vieques during the mid-1940s. The settlement of Esperanza and the neighboring Puerto Real anchor the southern coast, where the landscape transitions from the heights of Cerro Martineau and Cerro Sonadora down toward the Caribbean shoreline. This preliminary survey, produced by the Gobierno de Puerto Rico, captures a period of transition with inland sites like Colonia Puerto Real and the housing development at Proyecto Barracon appearing alongside established landmarks.
