1947 Map of Rio Descalabrado NE

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The Río Descalabrado flows through a landscape defined by the junction of the Villalba, Coamo, and Juana Díaz municipal boundaries during the late 1940s. This survey, based on 1943 topography, centers on the rural community of Unidad de Santa Catalina, where the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Santa Catalina stands as a focal point for the surrounding agrarian settlements. The settlement pattern follows the intricate valley system, with small clusters like Zanja Blanca and Zanja Negra situated near the watercourses. High points such as Cerro Petronila and Loma Pelagatos dominate the horizon, while the Río de la Mina and Río del Pasto contribute to the drainage network that shaped the local economy and land use before mid-century modernization.
