1950 Map of Moca SO

About this map

The town of Moca sits at the heart of this mid-century topographic survey, serving as a hub between the coastal plains of the northwest and the rising Cordillera Central. The map documents a rural landscape transitioning toward modern infrastructure, evidenced by the Planta de filtración and the centralized Escuela Segunda Unidad de Voladoras. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Río Culebrinas and its tributaries, such as Quebrada Grande, which carve through the prominent limestone hills. High points like Monte El Ojo and Monte Marquilla overlook a network of barrios, including Aceitunas, Cuchillas, and Voladoras. This edition captures the precise boundary between the Municipio de Aguadilla and Moca, showing the density of residential structures along local roads like Monserrate and Brujas before late-century expansion.
