1943 Map of Island Of Vieques

About this map

Isabel Segunda serves as the primary municipal hub on the northern coast, anchoring a landscape defined by its transition from agricultural colonies to maritime outposts during the 1940s. The interior is divided into barrios such as Florida, Puerto Real, and Llave, showing the footprint of organized agricultural efforts through Colonia Lujan and Colonia Puerto Real. The coastline is a complex network of bays and points, from the western Punta Arenas to the easternmost tip at Punta Este. Coastal features like the Pta Mulas Faro and the Desembarcadero Mosquito reflect the island's reliance on the sea for transport and navigation. The southern coast is particularly diverse, featuring the sweeping Ensenada Sun Bay and a series of lagoons including Laguna Kiani and Laguna Playa Grande, illustrating the island's unique hydrography before later 20th-century developments changed the local environment.
