1958 Map of Western St. John

About this map

Cruz Bay serves as the primary hub on this 1958 survey, showing the Government House and clustered settlements as the island transitioned into its modern era of conservation. Much of the central and northern landscape is defined by the Virgin Islands National Park, preserving the rugged interior peaks like Bordeaux Mtn and Camelberg Peak. The map provides a detailed view of coastal life before extensive modern development, documenting small agricultural and residential centers such as Emmaus, Carolina, and Bethany.
