1947 Map of Monte Guilarte NE

About this map

Coffee haciendas and mountainous terrain define this 1940s landscape in the central cordillera. Hacienda Rivera, Hacienda San Jose, and Hacienda Ripoll are notable agricultural sites, indicating the era's reliance on land-based estates. The settlement pattern follows the intricate valley floors and ridges, with social life centered around institutions like the Iglesia de la Virgen del Carmen and the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Yahuecas. The boundary between the Municipio de Adjuntas and Municipio de Utuado winds through the northern portion of the map, crossing over prominent peaks such as Cerro Palo Seco and Cerro Roncador. Numerous watercourses, including the Rio Yahuecas and Rio Limani, carve through the steep elevation, which is meticulously detailed with five-meter contour intervals.
