About this map

The central plains and southern coast of St. Croix are defined here by a dense network of former estate names and modern infrastructure. The landscape transitions from the higher elevations of Punch Peak and Mount Stewart in the northwest down to the industrial and transport hub of the south shore. Civil and commercial activity centers around the Henry E Rohlsen Airport and the settlement of Kingshill, which serves as a central waypoint along the Queen Mary Hwy.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the persistence of colonial-era land divisions through labels like Hard Labour, Bettys Hope, and Bethlehem Old Work. The southern coastline is marked by significant maritime and industrial features including Krause Lagoon, Manning Bay, and the offshore Long Reef. This survey documents the island's unique nomenclature, where place names like Jealousy, Lower Love, and Slob reflect the complex social and agricultural history of the Saint Croix District.
