About this map

Agricultural industry and suburban expansion define the landscape of south-central Puerto Rico during this 1970s revision period. The southern coast and foothills are punctuated by numerous traditional estates, including Hacienda El Tesoro, Hacienda Monserrate, and Hacienda Mallorquina, representing a heritage of land cultivation that transitions into industrial processing at Central Mercedita. The urban center of Ponce shows significant growth in residential sectors like Caserio Dr Pila and Caserio Villa Esperanza, while critical infrastructure such as the Aeropuerto Mercedita and the Naval Radio Station at Fort Allen underscore the region's strategic importance.
