1950 Map of San Sebastian NE

About this map

Lago Guajataca dominates the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, its fingers reaching into the rugged terrain where the borders of Quebradillas, San Sebastián, and Camuy meet. The map documents a rural economy transitioning through the late 1940s, anchored by the Central Soller sugar mill and the nearby settlement of El Pueblito. The intricate contour lines reveal the complex limestone topography of barrios like Aibonito, Hoyamala, and Eneas. Social and religious life is marked by the presence of the Iglesia Santa Ana and Iglesia Santa Teresita, along with the Escuela Centro Filetas. The Río Guajataca carves a deep path southward, joined by tributaries such as Quebrada Varas, illustrating the drainage patterns that defined local land use and transportation during this era of Puerto Rican development.
