1950 Map of Rosario NO

About this map

Agricultural life in the central hills of Municipio de Mayagüez is captured in detail by this 1950 survey. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage basins of the Río Yagüez and Río Cañas, where numerous private estates like Hacienda Constanza and Hacienda Recurso mark the traditional land use of the era. These named estates, along with Finca Marini, suggest a region heavily invested in coffee or sugarcane production prior to the rapid industrialization of the mid-20th century.
