1955 Map of Central St. Thomas

Topographically, the island is defined by dramatic peaks such as Crown Mtn, reaching over 1500 feet, and Hawk Hill. The southern coast shows significant post-war infrastructure, including the Harry S Truman Airport and the US Naval Reservation on Water Island. Rare community landmarks such as the Nisky Mission and the Zambee Tower provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of St. Thomas before the modern tourism boom.
