1958 Map of Christiansted

About this map

Christiansted National Historic Site and the historic fortifications of Fort Christian anchor the northern coastline of Saint Croix in this mid-century survey. The landscape is a dense network of former estates and quarters, where names like Bethlehem Old Work, Marys Fancy, and Sion Farm reflect the island's long agricultural and colonial history. The map captures the transition from these older holdings to modern infrastructure, including the Alexander Hamilton Airport and the Experimental Station in the King Quarter. Along the waterfront, Christiansted Harbor is protected by Protestant Cay and Round Reef, while the western shore is defined by the significant ecological and historical site at Salt River Bay. Local community life is evidenced by numerous rural schools and churches, such as Kingshill Sch and Friedensfeld Ch, which served the scattered settlements across Queen Quarter and Company Quarter.
