1938 Map of Quebradillas

About this map

Quebradillas serves as the focal point of this late 1930s survey, situated along the northern coast where the American Porto Rico railroad traces the shoreline. The landscape is defined by the deep carving of the Rio Guajataca, which forms a prominent boundary through the center of the sheet. An exceptional density of educational sites is recorded, with dozens of rural schools such as Escuela Horatio Mann Towner and Escuela Rafael Cordero scattered throughout the interior hills. The mapping of religious landmarks like Iglesia Virgen del Carmen and Capilla San Antonio provides valuable data for genealogists tracing community centers in the Municipio de Quebradillas. Coastal geography is detailed through terrain markers like Monte de la Luz and the irrigation infrastructure of Desvio Riego, reflecting the agrarian and civic organization of the era.
