About this map

Lago La Plata snakes through the center of this terrain, serving as a primary hydrological artery for the region during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the steep transitions from the Río La Plata valley up to peaks like Cerro Avispa and Cerro Mula. Rapid suburban growth is evident in the northern sectors, where planned developments like Royal Town, Santa Juanita, and Pájaro Puertorriqueño expand the footprint of the metropolitan area into the hills.

Industrial and utility infrastructure is notably detailed, including the Planta Hidroeléctrica Comerío Núm 1 and various Antenas de Radio. For the genealogist and local historian, the map identifies numerous rural institutions such as Escuela Alto Doña Elena and Iglesia del Carmen, alongside established barrios like Mucarabones and Buenavista. The presence of the Represa de San Juan and a Planta de Tratamiento de Aguas Negras underscores the intensive water management required by the region's mid-century development.
