1941 Map of Puerto Real

About this map

Cabo Rojo serves as the inland anchor of this western Puerto Rican coastal landscape, where the American Railroad corridor traces a path through the foothills toward the Valle de Lajas Llanos Costa. The shoreline along the Mona Passage is defined by a series of prominent headlands and sheltered waters, including the bay at Puerto Real and the large Laguna Joyuda. To the south, the village of Boquerón sits at the head of its namesake bay, while the presence of Las Salinas near the coast indicates the enduring importance of salt production to the local economy.
