1957 Map of Punta Puerca

About this map

The Roosevelt Roads Naval Reservation dominates this 1957 coastal survey of eastern Puerto Rico, documenting the strategic military infrastructure established during the mid-20th century. The map details the complex shoreline of Guayacán and Machos, where the naval presence is marked by features like the Antena de Radio and the Dique de Carena. Beyond the mainland, the survey tracks several small islands and cays including Isla Piñeros, Isla Cabras, and North Cabras Island, providing a record of the maritime topography used for naval operations.
