1947 Map of Naguabo SE

About this map

Bahia Algodones and the southern coastline of eastern Puerto Rico are captured in this 1943 topographical study, documenting a landscape at the edge of the Pasaje de Vieques. The map reveals a rugged shoreline defined by points and inlets, including Pta Algodones and the sandy stretch of Playa Blanca. Offshore, the isolated outcrop of Cayo Algodones and the feature marked Don stand in the open water, while the municipal boundary between Municipio de Naguabo and Municipio de Ceiba cuts through the coastal hills. This preliminary edition, issued under Jorge J. Jiménez, focuses heavily on the natural relief and maritime approaches before significant modern development altered the littoral zone. It provides a clear record of the area's physical geography, from the heights of Pta Cascajo to the tidal flats of the bay.
