1960 Map of Patillas

About this map

The mountain peaks of the Sierra de Cayey dominate this landscape, where the headwaters of the Rio Grande de Patillas and Rio de la Plata originate. In the early 1960s, the region demonstrates a transition from traditional agricultural estates like Hacienda Felicita toward industrial utility, evidenced by the Central Hidroeléctrica de Carite Núm 1 and its sister plant. Two significant reservoirs, Lago Carite and Lago Patillas, serve as anchors for local water management and hydroelectric power.
