Map of Saint Christophers Island

Moll, H.

Title Leupe: The Island St. Christophers alias St. Kitts.

This is a British map of the settlements on Saint Christophers Island. This map is part of the Atlas Geographus which was printed in the early eighteenth century. At the moment of its publication, this island had recently been handed to the British by the French with the 1713 treaty of Utrecht. Many placenames are thus shown in French and much of the hinterland is left uncharted by the British cartographer.

Scale-bar of English miles = 60 ‘strepen’.
