1964 Map of Rosario

About this map

Haciendas and coffee plantations anchor the landscape of western Puerto Rico in this mid-1960s topographic study. The terrain is marked by traditional agricultural estates like Hacienda Juanita, Hacienda Salome, and Hacienda Constanza, alongside modern institutional development such as Antillian College and Hospital Belle Vista. The settlement of Rosario serves as a central hub near the confluence of the Rosario and Rio Hondo rivers, while the municipal boundaries of Mayaguez, San German, and Maricao intersect across the rugged interior. Local education and faith are represented by numerous rural schools including Escuela Jose C Barbosa and local chapels like Capilla de Santa Ana. Water management is evident through the Represa de Mayaguez, highlighting the region's reliance on the intricate network of streams such as Quebrada Grande and the Yagüez.
