1944 Map of Isla Mona

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Isla Mona rises between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, as documented in this topography based on 1944 aerial photography. The island's geography is defined by its dramatic limestone plateau, featuring distinctive landmarks like the Faro lighthouse on the eastern cliffs of Punta Este and the Aerodromo Emergencia on the western shore. The map details the peripheral maritime access points, including the Anclaje Sardinero and Anclaje Isabella anchorages, which were vital for accessing this remote terrain. Several coastal features such as Playa Pajaro and Cueva de Frio highlight the island's unique karst landscape. Small settlements and trails trace the western coast, while the outlying Isla Monito is visible to the northwest in the Mona Passage, illustrating the strategic and isolated nature of these islands during the mid-century era.
