1947 Map of Salinas SE

About this map

The coastal waters of the Mar Caribe define this 1940s maritime study, documenting the southern edge of the Salinas region. The map focuses on the navigational hazards and landmarks of the shoreline, most notably the Faro (lighthouse) situated on the western edge of the island chain. This preliminary survey emphasizes the intricate archipelago of the Cayos de Ratones and the southern cluster of the Cayos de Barca, providing a precise record of these landforms before modern coastal development or environmental changes significantly altered their profiles. Smaller features like Cayo Morillo and the Cayos de Pájaros are positioned with specific coordinates, likely serving as reference points for local sailors or hydrographic researchers during the early 1940s.
