1970 Map of Playa De Ponce

About this map

Río Portugués and Río Bucaná converge at the Caribbean coast, defining the industrial and maritime layout of this southern Puerto Rican port district. The urban expansion of Canas Urbano and San Anton meets the coast at Playa de Ponce, where the Muelle de Ponce and various radio towers like Antena de Radio (WLEO) signal a mid-century infrastructure hub. Further east, the coastline transitions into the agricultural and residential barrios of Capitanejo and Vayas, featuring smaller settlements such as Boca Chica and Cintrona Segunda. Significant offshore detail is recorded, extending south to include the landforms of Isla Caja de Muertos and Isla Morrillito, which provide a detailed look at the maritime approaches and coastal topography of the region during this era.
