1951 Map of Isla De Vieques

About this map

The main town of Isabel Segunda and the sprawling Roosevelt Roads Naval Reservation define the human landscape of the island on this mid-century survey. Coastal life is centered around the lighthouse at Pta Mulas Faro and the southern settlement of Esperanza. Interior development reflects the agricultural and residential history of the era, visible in the layouts of Hacienda Arcadia, Colonia Puerto Real, and Colonia Lujan. The complex coastline is marked by numerous lagoons and bays, from the western Laguna Kiani to the eastern Bahía Salina del Sur. This document captures the island before modern expansion, when rural barrios like Barriada Monte Santo and industrial footprints such as the Quarry near Ensenada Honda were prominent features of the local economy and geography.
