1946 Map of Jayuya

About this map

The town of Jayuya serves as the focal point for this mountainous landscape during the mid-1940s, situated at the confluence of the Rio Grande de Jayuya and its smaller tributaries. The map documents an extensive network of haciendas that defined the agricultural economy of the central cordillera, including Hacienda Santa Barbara, Hacienda Gripina, and Hacienda El Semil. These estates are distributed throughout the rugged terrain of barrios like Veguitas and Toro Negro, illustrating the historical land-use patterns of the region's coffee and fruit-growing era.
