Dominica and Roseau maps from my M.Sc. Thesis

Cleaning my website, I decided to remove the outdated Dominica pages which didn't have much content that would be still relevant. However, as the map page has been relatively popular I moved its content to this blog post. The maps were mostly made for my Master's Thesis (Geography) in 2001.

The author looks much younger when relaxing in a river while doing research for his M.Sc. Thesis in Dominica in 1999. The reason is obvious: he was much younger back then.

My Dominica map page also included a shaded relief map of Dominica and another one showing Dominica with Guadeloupe and Martinique, the neighbouring French islands. They are downloaded from The Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection (University of Texas) and are released under public domain).

Some maps showing Dominica's location in the Caribbean:
