1950 Map of San German NE

About this map

San German stands at the center of this detailed 1950 topographical study, revealing the urban core divided into Pueblo Oriental, Pueblo Central, and Pueblo Occidental. The town’s social and infrastructure landscape is anchored by the Instituto Politecnico and the Cementerio de Germán, while the American RR line traces a path through the southern valley floor. The terrain transitions from the alluvial plains of the Río Guanajibo to the prominent heights of Cerro El Retiro and the ridges of Cain Alto. Numerous named streams, including Río Caín and Quebrada Rodeo, drain the northern highlands, reflecting a landscape where water and topography dictated early settlement patterns and barrio boundaries like Sabana Grande Abajo and Hoconuco Alto.
