The bulk of supplies used for tourism are imported from the mainland. Although prices are higher on the islands, energy products are heavily subsidized by the federal government.

An image of a cemetery on the coast in Puerto Chico was published in Las Islas Encantada o el Archipielago de Colon (Bognoly and Epinoza 1905:129). It is unknown whether this was the Hacienda's principal burial ground. An old cemetery is located near Canon Beach. The modern cemetery is halfway between El Progreso and Puerto Baquerizo-Moreno on the south side of the road.

During World War II, Cobos worked on Base Baltra. Soon after the birth of her sixth child, Karin Guldberg left Cobos and in 1952 moved into her cattle ranch "Pampa Mia." Eventually the ranch was relocated at 500 m, at the time the highest settlement on the island.

The gravel quarry in Puerto Baquerizo lies directly to thenortheast of the airport. The quarried volcanic rock is used for most construction products, and especially in the completion of the modern paved road through the island, completed in 2015. The quarry has been substantially reduced in size since this photo was taken in 2012.

A large basin formed by slightly depressed land is located directly to the north of the sugar processing area. The area can become inundated during heavy rains, and may have been connected to the sugar processing area by an earthen canal, portions of which are still visible under the thick vegetation.
