Harbors, Heritage & Island Hopping — A Traveler’s Map of the West Indies (2003)

A sunlit sweep of the Caribbean archipelagos—rendered with traveler-friendly clarity and classic National Geographic craft. Published in March 2003, this sheet invites you beyond beaches and palm silhouettes to the layered stories of the West Indies: ports and capes, island capitals, and place-names shaped by Spanish, British, Dutch, and French rule. Originally issued as half of a two-map set (paired with a political map of the West Indies), it’s a handsome companion for planning, study, and display.

More Than a Map – A Journey Through Time

This isn’t just a guide for getaway dreams—it’s a window onto centuries of exchange and encounter. Use it to trace trade winds and sea lanes in your imagination, place modern resorts in their historic harbours, and see how languages, cuisines, and music echo the archipelago’s colonial past. Ideal for travelers, educators, designers, genealogists, and collectors alike.
