About this map

San Germán serves as the focal point of this inland survey, which spans the diverse topography from the northern Rio Guanatibo valley to the lowlands of Laguna Cartagena. The town is intricately detailed, showing its internal division into Pueblo Central, Pueblo Occidental, and Pueblo Oriental. This period is marked by the presence of the American RR and its associated infrastructure, including the Linea Porto Rico and Estacion Lajas.

An agricultural and institutional landscape surrounds the urban core, featuring the Instituto Politecnico and a network of sugar-era estates such as Central Eureka, Hacienda Resolucion, and Hacienda Beatriz Soledad. The map documents numerous rural landmarks like the Cementerio De San German and the Escuela Segunda Unidad de Sabana Eneas, reflecting a community transitioning between its hacienda roots and developing municipal centers.
