About this map

Coastal wetlands and rising interior hills define this landscape where the Río Espíritu Santo and Río Herrera reach the Océano Atlántico. The topography captures a period of agrarian activity centered around the Colonia Carmelita and Colonia Fortuna, with infrastructure like the Desvío Carmelita and Desvío Florida suggesting the movement of goods through the lowlands. Extensive marshlands, including Ciénaga La Picúa and the Ensenada Comezón, separate the coastline at Pta Miquillo from the inland ridges.
