1947 Map of Playa De Ponce NO
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The agricultural and industrial landscape of southern Puerto Rico is clearly defined in this 1940s topography, dominated by the sugar economy. Large landholdings like Hacienda Santa Cruz, Hacienda Estrella, and Hacienda Esperanza occupy the fertile coastal plains, feeding into processing hubs such as Central Constancia and Central Estrella. This era shows the critical connection between inland production and maritime trade, with three major river systems—the Río Portugués, Río Bucaná, and Río Inabón—flowing toward the Mar Caribe. Near the coast, the settlement of Playa de Ponce serves as the gateway for goods passing through the Muelle de Ponce. The map also details the coastal geography of the Caleta de Cabullón, featuring landmarks like Cayo Gato and Pta Cabullón.
