Magos was in Spain's gazetteers[6] until Puerto Rico was ceded by Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish–American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898 and became an unincorporated territory of the United States. In 1899, the United States Department of War conducted a census of Puerto Rico finding that the combined population of Magos and Eneas barrios was 1,003.[7]
Barrios (which are, in contemporary times, roughly comparable to minor civil divisions)[13] in turn are further subdivided into smaller local populated place areas/units called sectores (sectors in English). The types of sectores may vary, from normally sector to urbanización to reparto to barriada to residencial, among others.[14][15][16]
The following sectors are in Magos barrio:[17]
Carretera 438, Carretera 451, Carretera 470, Sector Ballester, Sector La Cuadra, Sector Melito Oliva, Sector Miguel A. Pérez, Sector Puente Lajas, Sector Pujols, Sector Sonoco, Sector Toño Jiménez, and Urbanización Santa Teresita.
There is a bridge on PR-438 that goes over the Culebrinas River in Magos and when the river floods the road is closed to traffic.[18][19]
