1958 Map of Frederiksted

About this map

Frederiksted sits at the western edge of Saint Croix on this mid-century survey, anchoring a landscape where historical estate names still define the geography. The coastal town is protected by Fort Frederick and served by the Hospital and Frederiksted Jr High Sch. Inland, the terrain rises sharply toward Mount Eagle and Maroon Ridge, while the southern plains are occupied by a dense network of settlements and agricultural tracts like Bettys Hope, Castle Burke, and Williams Delight. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the layout of the Alexander Hamilton Airport and the coastal U.S. Coast Guard Sta near Hams Bluff. Numerous religious sites, including Mother of Perpetual Help Ch and St Josephs Ch, are scattered among the ridges and valleys, providing clear landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing the island's community development.
