1960 Map of Monte Guilarte

About this map

The Cordillera Central rises sharply in this 1960 survey, centered on the high peak of Monte Guilarte and the surrounding coffee-growing regions. The landscape is defined by an intensive network of agricultural estates, including Hacienda La Balear, Hacienda San Alberto, and Hacienda Esperanza, which speak to the traditional hacienda system that shaped the central highlands. Water management is a prominent theme, anchored by the reservoir of Lago Guayo and several tributaries like the Río Blanco and Río Guilarte.
