About this map

The agricultural and industrial character of eastern Puerto Rico is centered here at Central Juncos, a significant sugar mill facility near the confluence of the Río Gurabo and Río Valenciano. The urban center of Juncos is divided into Pueblo Norte and Pueblo Sur, featuring essential community landmarks such as the Cementerio Municipal and the Parque Atlético. To the southwest, the town of San Lorenzo borders the Río Grande de Loíza, serving the neighborhoods of Roosevelt and Santa Clara.

The landscape is densely populated with rural schools, including the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Valenciano Abajo and Escuela Florida Arriba, reflecting the importance of education in these barrio communities. Transport and utility infrastructure is evident through the Antigua Via and the Planta de Tratamiento de Aguas Negras. The map captures a moment of transition where traditional sugar production at the central meets expanding municipal services and local settlements like Valencia and Cantagallo.
