1947 Map of Utuado NE

About this map

The Planta Hidroeléctrica marks a significant industrial presence where the Río Grande De Arecibo meets the northern expanse of Lago Dos Bocas. This 1943 topography, published in 1947, illustrates the intersection of mountainous terrain and strategic water management along the border of Arecibo and Utuado. The landscape is defined by the dense forestation of the Bosque De Guajataca and a network of rural settlements connected by the Insular road system. Local community life is centered around rural educational hubs like Escuela Del Valle and Escuela Jovales. The confluence of the Rio Limon and the main river channel creates a complex shoreline of inlets and ridges, supporting small clusters of habitations such as Dos Bocas and Los Muertos. These features offer a detailed perspective on mid-century infrastructure and social geography in the Puerto Rican interior.
