1946 Map of Punta Guayanes

About this map

The Central Roig railroad corridor anchors the coastal economy of this mid-1940s landscape, serving as a vital industrial artery between the sugar production areas and the eastern shoreline. The terrain is defined by its dramatic transition from the high summits of Cerro Santa Elena and the Cuchilla ridge down to the coastal plains of Puerto Yabucoa. Along the water, established settlements like Playa de Guayanes and Colonia Monserrate sit near the mouths of several significant waterways, including the Río Guayanés and Río del Ingenio.
