1958 Map of East Point

About this map

Saint Croix's eastern extremity comes to life in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by historic estate names and complex coastal topography. The map illustrates the island's transition from colonial plantation legacies to modern recreational land use, featuring prominent landmarks like the Buck Island National Monument and the established boundaries of Cramer Park. Notable residential and agricultural patterns are preserved through named sites such as Union and Mount Washington, Catharinas Hope, and Marys Fancy. Along the southern shore, the hydrologic significance of the Great Pond (Salt) and Great Pond Bay is clearly delineated. The terrain rises sharply into the Goat Hills and Sugarloaf Hill, while the coastline is a succession of bays including Teagues Bay and Isaac Bay, terminating at the rugged East Point.
