About this map

Sabana Grande sits at the center of this 1960s landscape, serving as a hub between the mountainous interior and the southern coastal plains. The town is flanked by Pueblo Norte and Pueblo Sur, with the Rio Guanajibo winding through the valley. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural lowlands of the Valle de Lajas to the protected highlands of the Bosque Estatal de Maricao and Bosque Estatal de Susua.

Cultural and civic life is well-documented through numerous rural schools, such as the Escuela Thomas A. Edison and Escuela Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Religious sites like the Capilla del Pozo de la Virgen and Convento Nuestra Señora de Fátima mark the landscape alongside industrial markers like the Planta Hidroeléctrica and the Antigua Via del Ferrocarril, which traces the legacy of former rail transport in the region.
