1947 Map of Playa De Ponce NE
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Sugar production and coastal navigation define this mid-century survey of the Caribbean shoreline where the Municipio de Ponce meets the Municipio de Juana Diaz. The landscape is dominated by large agricultural estates and industrial hubs, most notably Central Fortuna and Central Boca Chica, which are surrounded by a network of canals and irrigation ditches. Rural life centers on named haciendas like Hacienda Unión and Hacienda Serrano, connected by roads and rail lines that once moved cane to the mills. Off the coast, the topography provides a striking contrast with the detailed mapping of Isla de Muertos, featuring the prominent Cerro Morrillo and a coastal Faro. This 1940s record documents the established agricultural patterns and drainage systems along the Río Jacaguas before significant late-century modernization.
