1952 Map of Yabucoa

About this map

The Valle de Yabucoa opens toward the Caribbean coast in this early 1950s survey, revealing a landscape dominated by the sugar industry and intricate drainage networks. Central Roig serves as a focal point for the eastern coastal plain, supported by surrounding agricultural settlements like Colonia Laura, Colonia Garonne, and Batey Columbia. The map documents the transition from the steep, interior ridges of the Sierra de Guayanes and the Cuchilla de Panduras down to the alluvial floor where the Rio Guayanes and Cano de Santiago meet the sea.
