Old map of Puerto Rico, United States of America.American War, seized the island from Spain. Hostilities began on May 12 with a blockade and bombardment of the city of San Juan by the U.S. Navy. This was followed with the landing off the coast of Guánica on July 12 of a force of 1,300 U.S. soldiers. In the peace treaty that was signed in Paris on December 10, 1898, the United States formally acquired Puerto Rico from Spain, along with Guam and the Philippines. Issued by the Military Information Division of the Adjutant General's Office of the U.S. Army, the map is by W. Morey of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The emphasis is on transportation, with railroads, main roads, cart trails, and horse trails shown. The scale is in miles (1 mile = 1.61 kilometers). An inset map at the lower right shows Vieques, Culebra, and several smaller islands belonging to Puerto Rico.

Map Sizing Information
- For the best legibility, order your map in the original size or larger. Most maps have intricate detail and small text that is best appreciated when the print size hasn't been reduced.
- Sizes labeled "Fits a Standard Frame" will drop right into any frame that you purchase in that size. The sizes that we offer are commonly available online and at most retail stores.
- Our standard sizes are recommendations based on the aspect ratio of the original map, but still may require some added "white space" in one dimension to fit.
- Non-standard sizes will require custom framing, and we suggest taking your print to the frame shop of your choice after you receive it for the best results.
- Custom sizes are available, simply contact us for a quote.
Below is an approximation of the scale of a few standard sizes, and how they might appear in your space.
