A comprehensive map showcasing the distinctive features and attractions of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and the British Virgin Islands.

The American territories of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands occupy a unique position in the modern world. Though their residents are American citizens, they lack representation in Congress and cannot vote in national elections. Included on this double-sided map are the lesser-known British Virgin Islands, a British colony made up of around 20 islands, with Road Town as its capital (an inset map is provided).

Puerto Rico, shown at a scale of 1:190,000, is a large, rectangular island with San Juan as its capital, also featured in an inset. It serves as a major starting point for cruise ships and hosts numerous resort communities across the main island. Ferry services connect Puerto Rico to its surrounding islands.

The Virgin Islands, purchased from Denmark in 1917, maintain a colonial European charm. This area includes three main islands: St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John. The map offers inset views of Charlotte Amalie, Cruz Bay, Christiansted, and Frederiksted. It also highlights ferry routes to the British Virgin Islands and water connections between the islands, with the Virgin Islands depicted at a scale of 1:85,000.
