1958 Map of Christiansted

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Christiansted Harbor serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey of Saint Croix, anchored by the historic waterfront and the nearby Protestant Cay. The landscape is defined by the legacy of the sugar era, with numerous estate names and ruins scattered throughout the Prince, King, Queen, and Company quarters. Notable landmarks include the Alexander Hamilton Airport and the Manning Bay Racetrack in the south, while the northern hills are traversed by the Scenic Road past Clairmont and Belvedere. The coastal geography is meticulously detailed, from the protective Long Reef to the tidal expanses of Krause Lagoon. Local heritage is preserved through the names of various estates like Judith Fancy, Marys Fancy, and La Grande Princesse, reflecting the distinct land-use patterns of the Virgin Islands before modern expansion transformed much of the rural interior.
