About this map

Saint Thomas anchors this maritime survey where the northern waters of the Caribbean Sea meet the southern reach of the Atlantic Ocean. The western tip of the island is defined by a series of steep summits, including Bordeaux Hill and Fortune Hill, which overlook a deeply indented coastline of protected coves. Small residential settlements like Fortuna, Bordeaux, and Bethesda are linked by a network of winding roads such as Fortuna Rd and Middle Rd, tracing the high ridges above the shore.

Beyond the main island, the map details a scattered archipelago including Savana Island and its prominent Savana Hill, as well as Salt Cay and West Cay. The relationship between land and sea is illustrated by named points and inlets like Botany Point and Stumpy Bay, while the deep-water Savana Passage and Salt Cay Passage serve as the primary conduits between the open ocean and the sheltered bays of the southern coast. This contemporary survey documents the modern topography and coastal access points of the western Virgin Islands.
