1952 Map of Punta Cuchara

About this map

Porto Rico American Railroad tracks trace the southern coast of Puerto Rico in this mid-century survey, connecting the sugar and shipping interests of the Ponce region. The landscape transition from the industrial and residential core of Playa de Ponce to the west reveals a mix of agricultural and maritime infrastructure, notably at Hacienda Matilde and the Lechos de Evaporacion de Sal near the Bahia de Tallaboa. Inland, the mountainous terrain of Encarnacion meets the sea at the distinctive Peñon de Ponce, while several offshore islands including Cayo Parguera and Cayo Ratones dot the Caribbean Sea. The map documents the boundary between the Municipio de Peñuelas and Municipio de Ponce, providing a detailed view of the coastal topography before the era of intensive modern development.
