1944 Map of Isla Mona

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Isla Mona rises from the deep waters between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, captured here during the mid-1940s when its strategic location in the Mona Passage was of significant interest to the Army Map Service. The landscape is defined by its sheer coastal cliffs and a plateau interior crisscrossed by a network of trails. Coastal landmarks indicate the island's maritime and operational utility, including the Faro (lighthouse) on the eastern point and the Aerodromo Emergencia on the western shore near Punta Oeste. Natural features like Cueva de Frio and the beach at Playa Pajaro suggest a terrain of limestone caves and small, isolated coves. This survey also includes the small satellite island of Isla Monito to the northwest, emphasizing the isolation of this Caribbean outpost.
