2013 Map of Vega Alta

About this map

The industrial legacy of northern Puerto Rico's sugar industry is anchored by Central San Vicente and Central Constancia, two prominent landmarks situated along the fertile coastal plains. This 2013 survey documents the landscape surrounding the municipalities of Vega Alta and Dorado, where the terrain transitions from the jagged limestone of the Cerros de Higuillar to the sandy shores of the Atlantic Ocean. The map traces a dense network of modern transportation including PR-2 and PR-693, which connect historic coastal settlements like Breñas and Sabana to the expanding interior neighborhoods of Monserrate and Ceiba. Coastal geography is detailed through prominent features such as Ensenada Breñas, Punta Mameyes, and Laguna Mata Redonda, providing a clear view of the shoreline before the further development of the Dorado area's northern beaches.
