About this map

Jayuya serves as the focal point of this 1960 survey, situated at the confluence of the Río Grande de Jayuya and Quebrada Grande. The landscape is defined by the central Cordillera Central, featuring prominent peaks like Cerro de Punta and Monte Jayuya. This era represents a significant period for the region's agricultural heritage, documented through numerous named haciendas such as Hacienda Gripinas, Hacienda Los Planes, and Hacienda Santa Rosa.

Evidence of infrastructure development is visible with the presence of Lago El Guineo and various communication installations like the Antena de TV at Cerro Maravillas. Educational outposts, including Escuela Saliente Arriba and Escuela Zamas, are scattered across the barrios, while the striking Salto de Inabón highlights the dramatic verticality of the terrain. The map provides a precise record of municipal boundaries, including the intersections of Jayuya, Ponce, and Orocovis.
