1962 Map of Punta Cucharas

About this map

Playa de Ponce stands as a primary focal point along the southern coast of Puerto Rico in this mid-century survey, showing the urban expansion of Canas Urbano and the development of Los Pámpanos. The landscape is defined by the transition from the rugged Peñón de Ponce and the coastal hills of Encarnacion down to the mangrove-fringed shoreline. Industrial and infrastructure markers of the era are evident, including the Antigua Vía del Ferrocarril and radio towers for Wiso and Wpab.
