About this map

Industrial sugar processing dominates the coastal plains of northern Puerto Rico in this 1940 survey, which details the infrastructure of Central San Vicente, Central Constancia, and Central Carmen. The American Railroad of Porto Rico serves as the primary artery for transportation, linking Estacion Dorado and Estacion Toa Baja with the surrounding agricultural lands. The landscape is a mix of marshy lowlands like Cienaga Prieta and the knobby hills of the Cerros de Higuillar.
