1946 Map of Orocovis

About this map

Orocovis sits at the heart of the Cordillera Central mountains during the mid-1940s, a period when the interior of Puerto Rico was defined by coffee production and high-altitude settlements. The map details the intricate drainage basins of the Rio Bauta and Rio Orocovis, alongside landmarks like Lago de Matrullas. Social and economic structures of the era are visible through labels for the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Bauta and Hacienda Limon, reflecting the rural educational reforms and agricultural estates of the time. The terrain is dominated by prominent peaks such as Cerro Mime and Cerro El Malo, while the Linea Transmision indicates early modernization efforts reaching into the mountainous barrios of Barros, Collores, and Pellejas.
