About this map

Hydropower and rural education define the landscape of this 1940s-era survey, where the rugged terrain of the Sierra de Patillas meets the agricultural valleys. The northern portion is dominated by the Bosque Insular de Carite and the waters of Lago Carite, feeding the critical infrastructure of the Planta Hidroelectrica de Carite No 1. A complex network of transmission lines and water management features, including the Canal de Guamani, illustrates the era's focus on industrializing the island's interior resources.
