1960 Map of Monte Guilarte

About this map

Cordillera Central peaks dominate this 1960 revision of the Adjuntas interior, showcasing a landscape of high-altitude agricultural activity centered around dozens of named haciendas. The rugged interior is punctuated by the blue expanse of Lago Guayo, where the Río Prieto and Río Blanco meet. The settlement of Castañer serves as a local hub near the boundary of Municipio de Lares, surrounded by family estates such as Hacienda La Balear and Hacienda Buena Vista. Social life is anchored by rural institutions like Iglesia de la Virgen del Carmen and the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Rábanos. High points like Monte Guilarte and Monte Membrillo oversee a complex network of insular routes that wind through barrios such as Barrio Yahueca and Barrio Limani, reflecting the coffee and agricultural heritage of the Puerto Rican highlands.
