1950 Map of Rincon ONO

About this map

The American RR of Porto Rico traces the northwestern coastline of the island near the mid-century, following the dramatic curve of the shoreline from Pta Gorda toward the town of Rincón. This coastal topography is defined by the steep elevation of Cerro Martinica and the Puntas region, where small clusters of buildings at Centro Puntas indicate rural settlement patterns before significant modern expansion. The map details a landscape where traditional transit routes like the Camino Carretas wind through the hills, connecting agricultural areas to the coast. Near the southern edge of the quadrangle, the settlement of Pueblo sits inland from the bay at Ensenada, supported by local water sources such as Quebrada Piletas and Quebrada Los Ramos, which drain westward into the Pasaje de Mona.
