1958 Map of Yauco

About this map

Agricultural tradition and industrial emergence define this southwest coastal region during the late 1950s. The landscape is anchored by the urban center of Yauco, where the Parque Atlético Ovidio Rodríguez and the Cementerio Municipal serve the local community. The surrounding hills are dotted with a remarkable concentration of family estates, including Hacienda Pietri, Hacienda Roig, and Hacienda Catalina, reflecting the long-standing coffee and sugar economy of the barrios. Along the coast at the Bahía de Guayanilla, the transition toward modernization is evident with the Refinería de Petróleo and Termoeléctrica facilities near Central Rufina. This era shows the intricate water management system supporting both towns, featuring the Presa Antonio Lucchetti and a Respiradero de Túnel cutting through the northern cordillera.
