1962 Map of Punta Cucharas

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Playa de Ponce stands at the eastern edge of this coastal survey, where the urban grid meets the Caribbean shore. Just inland, the agricultural and industrial legacy of the region is evident at Hacienda Matilde and near the Antigua Vía del Ferrocarril, marking the route of former rail transport along the southern coast. The landscape transitions from the developed areas of Canas Urbano to the limestone hills of Encarnación and the wetlands surrounding the Laguna de las Salinas. To the west, the settlements of Tallaboa and Salinas sit near the mouth of the Río Tallaboa, reflecting a time of significant infrastructure change as several sections of roadway are noted as being En Construcción. Offshore, a complex system of reefs and cays including Cayo Ratones and Cayo Cardona with its Faro lighthouse define the maritime approach to one of Puerto Rico's most important historical ports.
