1952 Map of Penuelas

About this map

Cordillera Central peaks dominate the northern horizon of this mid-century survey, where the Bosque Insular de Guilarte covers the high-altitude terrain. The town of Peñuelas sits at the transition between these interior mountains and the coastal plains, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural barrios like Tallaboa Alta and Quebrada Ceiba. The map documents a critical period of industrial infrastructure, featuring the Salto Garzas Planta Hidroelectrica No 1 and No 2, which utilized the steep river drops for power generation.
