About this map

Cruz Bay serves as the primary hub on this Caribbean island landscape, where the Government House and a Catchment Basin define the local infrastructure. The island is bifurcated by the Virgin Islands National Park boundary, preserving the steep interior peaks such as Mamey Peak and Bordeaux Mtn. Evidence of the island's agrarian past and transition to a protected territory is visible in the distribution of settlements like Emmaus, Carolina, and Adrian, along with the Caneel Bay Plantation on the western shore.

Maritime boundaries are clearly marked, showing the international line between the United Kingdom and United States just north of The Narrows. Coastal features range from the sheltered waters of Leinster Bay near the Annaberg ruins to the southern reaches of Reef Bay and Ram Head. Local education and faith are represented by the Horace Mann Sch and Calvary Ch near Johns Folly, providing specific touchpoints for genealogical research in these traditional communities.
