About this map

The town of San Sebastian serves as the focal point of this 1958 revision, situated where the Rio Guatemala and Quebrada Culebrinas intersect. The landscape is defined by its agricultural heritage, evidenced by numerous historical estates including Hacienda Santa Ana, Hacienda San Pedro, and Hacienda Buena Vista. These named haciendas reflect a long-standing land tenure pattern across the barrios of Bahomamey, Piedras Blancas, and Culebrinas.

Hydrology dominates the northern and southern reaches, from the waters of Lago de Guajataca and the winding Rio Guajataca to the deep southern valley of the Rio Grande de Anasco. The survey details the cultural geography of the late 1950s, showing local religious landmarks such as Iglesia Santa Teresita and smaller settlements like La Gonzalez. The intricate network of smaller streams, such as Quebrada Collazo and Quebrada Los Muertos, illustrates the complex drainage of this interior region.
