About this map

Pillsbury Sound serves as the central maritime corridor on this 2013 survey, separating the eastern reaches of ST Thomas from the rugged coastline of ST John. The settlement of Cruz Bay stands as the primary hub on the western edge of St. John, surrounded by historic hillside locales such as Susannaberg, Bethany, and Beverhoutberg. The landscape is dotted with remnants of the island's plantation and maritime past, including a Windmill Tower near Peace Hill and the Lind Point Battery Overlook.

Coastal geography is intricately detailed, from the sheltered waters of Vessup Bay and Caneel Bay to the numerous cays like Thatch Cay, Lovango Cay, and Mingo Cay. Preservation efforts are highlighted by the Virgin Islands Biosphere Reserve Center, while inland trails like the L'Esperance Trl and Cocoloba Trl indicate the enduring nature of the terrain outside the developed centers of Tutu and Red Hook.
