1946 Map of Maricao

About this map

Maricao and its surrounding mountain terrain are documented here just after the mid-century, revealing a landscape dominated by traditional coffee and agricultural estates. Numerous named haciendas, such as Hacienda Herencia, Hacienda Lealtad, and Hacienda Santa Rita, are scattered across the high ridges of the Cordillera Central. These estates, connected by winding mountain roads, define the economic and social structure of the region during this era, serving as the primary centers of population and production outside the main town centers of Maricao and Pueblo Nuevo.
