About this map

Saint Thomas island rises from the junction of the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea in this 2013 topographic survey of the western territory. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation of Flagstok Hill, Fortuna Hill, and Bordeaux Hill, where winding paths like Fortuna Rd navigate the coastal ridges. The coastline is deeply indented with protected coves such as Botany Bay, Bordeaux Bay, and Stumpy Bay, each offering distinct landing points along the northern and southern shores.

Offshore, a series of smaller islands and formations mark the Savana Passage, including the prominent Savana Island and the isolated Saltwater Money Rock. Significant landmarks for coastal navigation and local history include the Mermaids Chair at the western tip and the cluster of beaches from Bordeaux Beach to Fortuna Bay Beach. These features illustrate the island's maritime character and the complex topography that shaped its modern development.
