1960 Map of Salinas

About this map

Agricultural haciendas and coastal salt works define the landscape around Salinas at the dawn of the 1960s. The map illustrates a transitional period for the region's economy, where traditional sugar estates like Hacienda Palés and Hacienda Carmen operate alongside newer infrastructure like the Aeropuerto de Salinas. Near the shore, the Salinas Abandonadas and the nearby Mar Negro suggest the shifting importance of local industries along the Bahía de Rincón.
