1957 Map of Puerto Real

About this map

The western coastline of Cabo Rojo is defined by a series of prominent points and sheltered bays, from the northern expanse of Laguna Joyuda down to the wide Bahía de Boquerón. This 1957 revision illustrates the established agricultural and coastal economy of the region, featuring a dense network of small settlements such as Joyuda, Berbedere, and Betances. Inland, the terrain rises toward hills like Cerro Piñas and Cerro Algodón, while the coastal flats are marked by the Ferrocarril rail line and the Canal de Riego irrigation system, reflecting the area's developed land use.
