1946 Map of Yauco

About this map

The sugar economy and rugged interior of southwestern Puerto Rico are documented in this mid-century survey. Central Rufina stands as a prominent industrial landmark near the coast, serviced by the American Railroad of Porto Rico which connects the primary settlements of Yauco and Guayanilla. The transition from the coastal plains at Playa de Guayanilla to the steep elevations of the Cordillera Central is marked by a network of agricultural estates, including Hacienda Pintado, Hacienda Mogote, and Hacienda Catalina.
