About this map

Christiansted serves as the focal point of this St. Croix survey, centered around the historic Christiansted Harbor and its maritime defenses like Fort Christian and Fort Louise Augusta. The landscape transitions from the urbanized waterfront to agricultural and residential estates such as Judith Fancy, La Grande Princesse, and Morningstar. Significant infrastructure is present in the southwest, where the Alexander Hamilton Airport and the Manning Bay Racetrack appear alongside extensive coastal features like Krause Lagoon.

The northern coast is defined by prominent geographical landmarks like Baron Bluff and the inlet at Salt River Bay. Inland, the terrain rises toward Blue Mountain and Lang Peak, while the administrative divisions of Northside B, King, and Queen organize the central island. Educational and scientific interests are noted at the Sub Sta High Sch and Langs Observatory, reflecting the community's development during the mid-20th century.
