1947 Map of Punta Guayanes NE

About this map

Buena Vista overlooks the coastal wetlands and sugar-growing lowlands of eastern Puerto Rico in this mid-century topographic study. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Río Humacao as it meets the Mar Caribe, creating a complex shoreline of inlets and promontories. Topographic details illustrate the dramatic transition from the coastal plain to the prominent rise of the Morro de Humacao. This preliminary survey captures the rural character of the region before modern development, marking the administrative boundary between Municipio de Humacao and Municipio de Yabucoa. Coastal landmarks such as Pta Candelero and the offshore Cayo Batata provide essential orientation for maritime history and local geography, while the cluster of structures at Punta Guayanés indicates the early footprint of the seaside settlement.
