1958 Map of Punta Verraco

About this map

Central San Francisco stands as a prominent industrial landmark on this coastal survey, reflecting the sugar processing heritage of the southern coast. The landscape is defined by the dramatic peninsula of Punta Verraco, which separates the Bahía de Guayanilla from the open Caribbean Sea. This 1958 revision shows a blend of rural settlement and coastal utility, with Barrio Indio tucked near the banks of the Río Yauco as it meets the sea. Coastal features are recorded with high precision, including the reefs at Arrecife Guayanilla and small islands like Cayo Maria Langa. The inland hills are dotted with local institutions like the Escuela Arturo Lluberas and Campamento Borinquen, providing a clear look at the community structure during the mid-century era of the Commonwealth.
