1947 Map of Punta Tuna NE
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The Sierra de Guardarraya dominates the coastal landscape of southeast Puerto Rico in this 1940s-era topographical study. The terrain drops sharply from these heights toward the Mar Caribe, meeting the sea at the prominent Cabo Mala Pascua and the lighthouse at Pta Tuna, labeled simply as Faro. This survey captures the rural character of the region before significant modern development, showing the winding course of the Río Maunabo as it flows toward the coast near Puerto Maunabo. The boundary between the Municipio de Maunabo and Municipio de Patillas is traced along the ridgelines, illustrating how the natural topography dictated political divisions. Smaller watercourses like Quebrada Arenas and Quebrada Mameyes drain the northern slopes, providing a detailed look at the island's hydrography during this period.
