1949 Map of Sabana Grande NE

About this map

The Bosque Insular de Susúa dominates this 1949 topographic study of the mountains between Sabana Grande and Yauco. The map reveals a landscape defined by the drainage basins of the Río Yauco and Río Loco, where small agricultural communities and barrio centers are connected by winding mountain roads. This period of Puerto Rican history is captured in the presence of local institutions such as the Iglesia San Miguel Arcángel and the Escuela Collores No. 1, which served the rural population in the years following World War II. High points like Pico Fraile and the densely contoured ridges of Frailes and Rancheras contrast with the activity centered around Campamento Susúa, reflecting the era's focus on forest management and local infrastructure in the interior highlands.
