1958 Map of Christiansted

About this map

Christiansted serves as the focal point of this St. Croix survey, centered around its protected Christiansted Harbor and the Christiansted National Historic Site. The map details a landscape transitioning from its colonial plantation past, indicated by labels like Bethlehem Old Work, toward mid-century modernization. Coastal landmarks such as Fort Christian and Fort Louise Augusta stand alongside the emerging aviation infrastructure at Alexander Hamilton Airport. Inland, the terrain is marked by numerous historic estates and hills, including Blue Mountain and Beeston Hill, while the Salt River flows toward Salt River Bay in the north. This document provides a clear view of the island's administrative divisions, from Northside B to the East End A, recording the location of local schools like Peters Rest Sch and community hubs like the Manning Bay Racetrack.
