Notes
- Sources authoritative with regard to National Register listing parameters give different forms of the fort's name, including Fuerte de la Concepción from the fort's nomination form,[4] Fuerte de la Concepcion from the official weekly announcement of National Register actions,[5] and Fuerte de la Conception from the comprehensive National Register database.[6] This article adopts the first of these, Fuerte de la Concepción, because it offers the most proper Spanish orthography.
- Federal and state laws and practices restrict general public access to information regarding the specific location of this resource. In some cases, this is to protect archeological sites from vandalism, while in other cases it is restricted at the request of the owner.
- The Silva Bridge spans the boundary between Hormigueros (Barrio Guanajibo) and Cabo Rojo (Barrio Guanajibo) municipalities.
- The name of the Faro de Guanica is presented here without the accent on "Guánica" in conformance with the usage in the light's National Register nomination form[10] and Federal Register announcement of listing.[11]
- The name of the Edificio Jose de Diego is presented here without the accent on "José" in conformance with the usage in the building's National Register nomination form[17] and Federal Register announcement of listing.[11]
- The name of the Gomez Residencia is presented here using word order that conforms to the usage in the house's National Register announcement of listing[18] and subsequent database entries.[19][20] The accent is omitted from "Gómez" in conformance with both of those sources as well as the house's National Register nomination form.[21]
- The name of the Ramírez Fuentes Residencia is presented here using word order (name preceding "Residencia") that conforms to the usage in the house's National Register announcement of listing[27] and subsequent database entries.[19][28] Also note that while the announcement and databases treat Ramirez as a forename and Fuentes as a surname and omit the accent from Ramírez, the house's National Register nomination form treats Ramírez Fuentes, including the accent, as a compound surname (section 9 mentions "Mrs. Mirta Ramírez de Fuentes");[29] for these purposes, this article adopts the nomination's usage.
