NOTE: The above description delineates the historic bounds of the Cruz Bay Town Historic District. Due to the fact that many properties within the Historic District have been re-surveyed and registered with the Office of the Recorder of Deeds with lot lines that do not conform with the town’s historic boundaries, official boundary lines of the Cruz Bay Town Historic District have been amended to conform with present lot lines of all plots within the district.
