Maps of Montserrat
Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory and a part of the Leeward Islands chain in the Caribbean. It has an area of 102 sq. km (39 sq mi). This mountainous, pear-shaped island is currently increasing in size because of the build up of volcanic deposits on the southeast coast.
The island is measured at 16km (10 miles) long and 11km (7 miles) wide, with rock cliffs rising 15 to 30 m (50-100ft) above the sea and smooth bottomed sandy beaches scattered among coves on the west ( Caribbean) side of the island.
The island's highest point is located in the Soufriere Hills, but a definitive height is unavailable due to the consistent eruptions of the volcano. Scattered small streams drains the northern reaches of the island.
Parishes of Montserrat Map
Montserrat is divided into 3 parishes. The parishes are: Saint Anthony, Saint Georges and Saint Peter.
Located on the south western coast of the island was Plymouth – the capital and the only port of the island country. The volcanic eruptions led to the complete destruction of the entire city and hence the administrative capital was relocated to Brades – the newly-built capital and the largest city of Montserrat; located in the north western part of the island.
