1960 Map of Jayuya

About this map

Jayuya sits at the heart of the Cordillera Central, where the Rio Grande de Jayuya and Rio Saliente carve deep paths through the high peaks. This 1960 revision, updated with 1977 aerial data, documents a landscape dominated by historic coffee estates and high-altitude terrain, including Cerro de Punta, the island's highest elevation. The density of named haciendas, such as Hacienda Carmelita and Hacienda Santa Rita, illustrates the enduring importance of the agricultural economy in this mountainous interior.
