1972 Map of Utuado

About this map

The Utuado urban center is the focal point of this inland Puerto Rican landscape, situated at the confluence of the Río Viví and the Río Grande de Arecibo. The geography is defined by the deep reservoir waters of Lago Dos Bocas to the north and Lago Caonillas to the east, illustrating a mid-century infrastructure shift toward hydroelectric power, evidenced by the Central Hidroeléctrica. In the northwest, the protected Bosque Estatal de Rio Abajo preserves the dense terrain above the river valley.
