1966 Map of San German

About this map

San Germán serves as the cultural and urban heart of this 1966 topographic study, characterized by its dense network of educational institutions and the prominent campus of the Universidad Interamericana. The landscape transitions from the developed city center into a series of agricultural valleys and distinctive hill formations, with the southern portion dominated by the waters of Laguna Cartagena. Evidence of the region's historic hacienda system is widespread, with sites such as Hacienda Desengaño, Hacienda Beatriz Soledad, and Hacienda Luisa dotting the valley floor. The infrastructure of the era is recorded through features like the Antigua Via Ferrocarril and the Pista de Aterrizaje near Olivares. From the industrial operations at Central Eureka to the numerous local schools like Escuela Padre Rufo, the map documents a community deeply rooted in its local geography and history.
