1964 Map of Moca

About this map

The Cordillera Jaicoa dominates the central landscape of this 1964 survey, where the steep terrain of Monte Encantado and Monte Mariquilla separates the northern coastal plains from the southern river valleys. This transition is marked by a complex network of water management and power generation, including the Canal Principal and a series of hydroelectric plants like Central Hidroeléctrica No 1. The settlement pattern follows the lower elevations, with the municipal seat of Moca situated near the Río Culebrinas, while smaller communities such as Aceitunas and Mantilla are scattered across the foothills.
