1947 Map of Naguabo NO

About this map

The town of Naguabo anchors this topographic study, where the coastal plains meet the steep northern ridges of the Cuchilla Duque. The landscape is dominated by agricultural colonies and estates, reflecting the sugar-driven economy of the mid-20th century. Prominent holdings like Colonia San Cristóbal, Hacienda Grande, and Colonia Esperanza are mapped alongside a complex network of waterways, including the Río Santiago and Río Blanco. This 1947 edition was prepared as a preliminary map by the Gobierno de Puerto Rico Department of the Interior under Jorge J. Jiménez. It captures the transition from mountain streams like Quebrada Senadora to the lower valley settlements such as Tablones, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure of the era including the Linea de Transmision and various rural caminos.
