1950 Map of Rosario NE

About this map

Historic agricultural estates define this 1950 interior landscape of western Puerto Rico, where the boundaries of Mayagüez, Las Marías, and Maricao converge. The map documents a coffee-producing era through numerous named haciendas, such as Hacienda Esperanza, Hacienda Juanita, and Hacienda Veremos, which are strategically positioned along the steep ridges and narrow valleys. These family-named landholdings highlight the rural economic structure of the mid-20th century before significant industrialization moved inland.
