1947 Map of Mayaguez

About this map

Mayagüez serves as the focal point for this mid-century coastal survey, illustrating the urban core of Puerto Rico's western shore before the expansion of the modern era. The landscape transitions from the developed waterfront at Malecon to the agricultural and educational infrastructure of the interior, notably the Universidad de Puerto Rico Colegio de Agricultura y Artes Mecanicas and the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture Experiment Station. The coastal economy is anchored by the American Railroad of Porto Rico, which traces the shoreline past industrial landmarks like the Central Rochelaise. To the south, the terrain becomes more localized with small settlements such as Poblado Sabalos and Hormigueros, alongside numerous namesake agricultural colonies like Colonia Estebanía. The map details a complex hydrology where the Río Yagüez and Río Guanajibo meet the Bahía de Mayagüez, shaping the development of this maritime region.
