1950 Map of Rincon NO

About this map

The coastal and agricultural landscape of western Puerto Rico comes into focus through this 1:10,000 scale preliminary study. Along the shoreline of Ensenada Rincón, the tracks of the American RR follow the curve of the Pasaje de Mona, connecting the small rail stop at Desvío Santana to the southern reaches of Córcega. The presence of Central Calvache indicates the importance of sugar production to the local economy during this era, situated on the flatter lands below the steep ascent to Pico Atalaya. Inland, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of the Río Grande and Río Culebrinas. Institutional presence is noted by the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Jagüey, serving the rural residents of the Jagüey and Cruces barrios.
