Anthony (and, possibly, Harry Montgomery): Potential material in, of course, The National Archives, Kew, Surrey (UK). Have you checked (if so, tell us!)? Some Danish material will be found, unless I'm mistaken, sourced - and reproduced - in the PhD and several articles, of Daniel P. Hopkins. Francis Herbert -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mullan, Anthony Sent: 24 January 2011 21:23 To: 'Discussion group for map history' Subject: RE: [MapHist] Survey and Estate Maps of Dominica/ Survey or EstateMaps of St. Croix US (ex- Danish) West Indies Hello Harry Montgomery, The Library of Congress has at least one fairly large scale and detailed map of St. Croix from the eighteenth century. It is a Danish map of 1754 by Jens M. Beck. It is described in our (co-authored with John Hebert) carto-bibliography entitled the "Luso-Hispanic World in Maps...", which is available online at http://www.loc.gov/rr/geogmap/luso/usvi.html#usvi There is a zoom feature that allows you to zoom in and magnify some of the maps listed in the carto-bibliography including this one which is no. 980. The map shows, among other things, individual landholding with what appear to be the names of landholders. It is an interesting map as it is printed with many added notes in pen and ink. If you have further questions, you may write me using my work email account.
