1958 Map of Christiansted

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The central coastline of St Croix is dominated by the historic port of Christiansted Harbor, a center of Caribbean commerce and colonial administration. This mid-century survey captures the island's transition from an economy rooted in historic estates and sugar production, evidenced by numerous ruins such as those at Bethlehem Old Work and Rust Up Twist Ruins, toward modern infrastructure. The development of the Alexander Hamilton Airport and the Manning Bay Racetrack in the south contrasts with the established residential quarters of Prince Quarter and King Quarter. High points like Blue Mountain and Kirkegaard Hill overlook a landscape dotted with family-named estates like Judith Fancy and Betzys Jewell, preserving the nomenclature of the island's complex land-owning history.
