About this map

The Rio de la Plata carves a deep, winding path through this central Puerto Rican landscape, serving as a primary geographic anchor for the Naranjito and Bayamón regions. In the northern reaches, suburban expansion is evident in the residential grids of Royal Town, Santa Juanita, and Lomas Verdes, where numerous named streets like Calle Iralda and Calle Fenix define the emerging urban footprint.

Infrastructure for the growing population is concentrated along the river valley, highlighted by the Planta Hidroeléctrica Comerio Num 1 and Planta Hidroeléctrica Comerio Num 2, as well as the Represa de Comerio and Represa de San Juan. These industrial sites contrast with the scattered rural settlements and educational network found in the hills, including Escuela Miguel Cervantes Saavedra and Escuela Juan Asencio III. This survey effectively documents the intersection of industrial energy production and residential development in the late 1960s.
