About this map

Virgin Islands National Park and the Virgin Islands Coral Reef National Monument dominate this coastal landscape, protecting a mix of deep-rooted heritage sites and marine ecosystems. The ruins of the Annaberg Sugar Mill stand near Leinster Bay, serving as a reminder of the island's colonial plantation era. In the heart of the settlement area, Emmaus and the Emmaus Moravian Church Cem anchor the community near Coral Harbor.

The map reveals a dense network of historically named tracts and guts, such as Saunders Gut and Ben Runnells Gut, which signify the traditional land divisions of the region. From the defensive position at Fortsberg to the scattered settlements of Calabash Boom and Zootenval, the topography is defined by steep ridges like Leinster Hill and numerous protected inlets, including Hurricane Hole and Johns Folly Bay.
