About this map

Moca sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the urban settlement gives way to the ridges of the Cordillera Jaicoa. The map reveals a transition between the northern coastal plains and the interior highlands, marked by significant infrastructure including the Antigua Via del Ferrocarril and multiple power stations such as Central Hidroelectrica No 3. These facilities, alongside the Canal Principal, reflect a mid-century focus on hydraulic and electrical development in the region.

Military presence is a defining feature of the northern sectors, with the sprawling Ramey Air Force Base and a US Naval Reservation occupying large tracts of land. Beyond these installations, the map is a detailed record of rural life, pinpointing local landmarks like the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Voladoras and the Iglesia de la Virgen del Rosario. Terrain features such as Monte Mariquilla and Cerro El Sombrero rise above scattered communities like Aceitunas and San Antonio.
