1967 Map of Naguabo

About this map

Coastal sugar production and military expansion define the eastern landscape of Puerto Rico as seen in this mid-century record. The Roosevelt Roads Naval Reservation occupies a massive portion of the shoreline, including Ofstie Field and Fort Bundy, showing the footprint of the U.S. Navy presence just north of Ensenada Honda. In the interior, the foothills of Cuchilla El Yunque drop toward the coastal plains of Húcares and Santiago y Lima. Local centers like Naguabo and Ceiba are linked by the coastal C Brewer road, while the inland Mariana district reveals established rural life through landmarks like the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Mariana and several scattered haciendas. This survey captures a moment when the region's agricultural past, evidenced by Hacienda Grande, existed alongside the high-security infrastructure of the Cold War era.
