1960 Map of Punta Guayanes

About this map

Central Roig and the surrounding sugar production landscape anchor this coastal survey of southeastern Puerto Rico. The industrial site stands as a primary landmark west of Puerto Yabucoa, where the Caño de Santiago and Río Guayanés meet the Caribbean. The topography transitions from the coastal plains of Valle de Juan Martín to the prominent heights of Cerro Santa Elena and Cerro Candelero. Educational and social hubs are clearly marked, including the Escuela Segunda Unidad Luciano Ríos and the Escuela Eugenio María de Hostos near Playa de Guayanés. Along the shoreline, distinctive maritime features such as Cayo Batata and the rocky points of Punta Yeguas and Punta Guayanés define the jagged Atlantic interface during a period of significant local development.
