1941 Map of Rosario

About this map

Agricultural haciendas define the landscape of this interior region of western Puerto Rico during the late 1930s and 1940s. The map illustrates a dense network of coffee and sugar estates, such as Hacienda Juanita, Hacienda Corcega, and Hacienda Esperanza, which served as the economic anchors for local communities before the island's mid-century industrial shift. Religious life is deeply integrated into the topography, with numerous small chapels and churches including Iglesia de San Jose and Capilla de Santa Ana.
