1947 Map of Rio Descalabrado NO
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The interior mountains of Puerto Rico define this 1940s topographic study, centered on the boundary between Municipio de Villalba and Municipio de Juana Diaz. The drainage of the Rio Toa Vaca and Rio Jacaguas dominates the landscape, feeding into the southern reservoir of Lago Guayabal. This period of Puerto Rican history shows a rural mountain economy centered around small settlements like Poblado Guayabal and the rugged heights of Cerro de las Cuevas. The dense contouring illustrates the steep, fractured terrain typical of the Cordillera Central, where winding waterways like Quebrada Grande and Quebrada Gatos carve through the ridges. Notable local landmarks like La Mina and the course of the Rio Cañas provide specific reference points for researchers tracing the agrarian and hydraulic development of the region before modern industrialization.
