About this map

Agricultural colonias and steep drainage basins define this 1:10,000 scale survey of the terrain south of Colonia Santa Rosa. The landscape is dominated by the winding course of the Río Bayamón along the eastern boundary, where it meets the Río Guaynabo. Inland, the topographic detail reveals a network of ridges and ravines, including Cerro Gordo Arriba and Cerro de Vergara. The social fabric of the mid-1940s is anchored by local religious centers like the Iglesia de Minillas and Iglesia de Monserrate, while the presence of named estates such as Colonia Tió and Colonia Canto Gallo reflects the area's historical land tenure and rural settlement patterns. Numerous waterways, such as Quebrada Magueyes and Río Minillas, carve through the hillsides, illustrating the complex watershed of the region.
