Common Ground on Google Maps


View Common Ground: St. Croix, USVI in a larger map

The collaborative team felt that it was important for this project to have a web presence. We came up with a way for people outside St. Croix to see the the information on the plaques and for the public to add their own virtual plaques. This will allow people in China and Australia and other parts of the world to read what makes St. Croix, St.Croix.

    No limits on the Map. We may have to be selective for the ones outdoors.
