About this map

Quebradillas and its surrounding agricultural barrios overlook the Océano Atlántico on this mid-century coastal survey. The coastline is defined by the American Railroad, which tracks along the northern bluffs through Terranova and Yeguada. This rail corridor was central to the region's connectivity before modern highway expansions, linking coastal settlements with the interior sugar and coffee regions.

Inland, the topography transitions from coastal plains to the distinctive karst hills of Cacao and San José. Significant local landmarks include the Escuela Segunda Unidad Rivera and the prominent Monte Iguina. The map preserves the specific boundary between the Municipio de Quebradillas and Municipio de Camuy, providing a detailed look at the rural landscape and residential clusters like Palomar and San Antonio during a period of steady post-war development.
