1955 Map of Western St. Thomas

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The westernmost tip of St Thomas meets the open water of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea in this mid-century survey. The landscape of the West End is dominated by high points like Bordeaux Hill and Flagstok Hill, which look down upon a jagged shoreline defined by narrow bays such as Botany Bay and Barents Bay. This topography illustrates the island's isolation before modern development, where the land abruptly ends at the Mermaids Chair to form a thin land bridge leading to Little St Thomas.
