About this map

Saint Thomas Harbor serves as the central focal point for this detail of the U.S. Virgin Islands, anchoring a landscape where steep hillsides meet the Caribbean. The urban density of Charlotte Amalie transitions into distinct neighborhoods like Frenchtown and Altona and Welgunst, while the presence of the University of the Virgin Islands Saint Thomas Campus and the Cyril E King Airport reflect the modern infrastructure of the territory.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial grounds, including the Nisky Moravian Cem and Danish Cem, which speak to the diverse colonial and religious history of the island. The map also delineates protected areas such as Virgin Islands National Park and offshore landmarks like Hassel Island and Water Island, showing the intersection of coastal development and environmental preservation.
