About this map

The city of Ponce serves as the focal point of this 1940s-era topographic study, showing a detailed urban grid centered on the Ponce Cathedral and Plaza de Getau. The urban footprint is defined by the American Railroad and the winding course of the Rio Portugues, which separates the city center from developing neighborhoods like Alhambra. The surrounding landscape is dominated by a transition from the southern coastal plains to the foothills, where numerous agricultural estates such as Hacienda Barrancas and Hacienda Mallorquina characterize the land use of the period.
