USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The coastal headland of Punta Puerca and the strategic waters of the Vieques Passage define this 1952 topographic survey of the Ceiba coastline. Much of the terrestrial landscape is dominated by the Naval Reservation Machos, a military footprint established during a period of significant naval expansion in the Caribbean. Along the shoreline, navigational aids like the Faro lighthouse on Isla Cabras mark the entrance to protected waters such as Ensenada Honda and Bahía de Puerca.
