About this map

Charlotte Amalie serves as the focal point of this mid-century topographic study, showing the dense settlement of the territorial capital between the mountains and St Thomas Harbor. The map documents a period of postwar expansion, notably featuring the Harry S Truman Airport on the southern coast and several housing developments like Pearson Gardens. Beyond the urban core, the landscape is dotted with historical landholdings such as Santa Maria Estate, Caret Bay Estate, and Estate Thomas, reflecting the island's transition from an agricultural past to a modern administrative and travel hub.
