1963 Map of Rio Grande

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Río Grande serves as the inland hub for this coastal region, where the Río Grande de Loíza and Río Herrera meet the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape transition from the swampy wetlands of Ciénaga Baja to the prominent coastal features like Punta Miquillo and Punta Picúa reveals the complex hydrology of the Puerto Rican shoreline before extensive modern development. Smaller communities such as Suárez, Honduras, and Medianía Alta are scattered across the lowlands, while industrial and logistical markers like the Via del Ferrocarril and a Pista de Aterrizaje suggest the transportation networks connecting these settlements. The map also captures local civic life through labeled institutions like Escuela Luis Calderón and Escuela Juan González, alongside recreational spaces like the Campo de Golf near the mouth of the Espíritu Santo.
