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.

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.

Regards,

Anthony Paez Mullan
