1945 Map of Punta Tuna

About this map

Hacienda San Isidro sits along the southern coast of Puerto Rico, marking a landscape where agricultural traditions met the shoreline in the mid-1940s. This survey of the Municipio de Maunabo illustrates a coastline defined by prominent headlands like Cabo Mala Pascua and Pta Tuna, the latter of which is anchored by a Faro or lighthouse. The inland terrain rises sharply into the hills of Cerro Piedra Hueca, drained by numerous streams such as Quebrada Florida and Quebrada de los Alberto. Educational and social hubs of the era are represented by the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Guardarraya, reflecting the local infrastructure during a period of transition in the island's rural development. The vast Mar Caribe dominates the southern half of the map, emphasizing the maritime orientation of the Puerto Maunabo vicinity.
