Jamaica's Physical Features Geography Mountains Jamaica’s Physical Features Geography Jamaica’s physical features is mostly mountainous. A limestone plateau covers two-thirds of the island and karst formations with caverns and caves dominate the island. Additionally, it has narrow coastal plains, green dense rainforests and sandy bays and beaches. Generally, the island’s physical feature can be divided into three main types of landforms: the central mountain chain formed by igneous and metamorphic rocks; the karst limestone hills in the Cockpit area; the low-lying coastal plains and interior valleys. Limestone formation occurs all over the island, but especially in the western areas. Mountains The mountain system may be divided into three parts: • The eastern section composed of the Blue Mountains and the John Crow Mountains. • The central region, formed chiefly of limestone, extending from Stony Hill to the Cockpit country. • The western section with Dolphin Head as its centre.

Caribbean Youth Development Institute Jamaica’s Physical Features Rivers A river is a natural flowing watercourse that flows towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. As the main range of mountains in Jamaica run from west to east, the rivers, which start on their slopes, generally flow north or south. Most of the rivers in Jamaica are not navigable. The height of the mountains causes them to run swiftly in deep beds. Additionally, their routes are occassionally broken by waterfalls. The exception to this is Black River. Located in St. Elizabeth, the largest river in Jamaica is 73 kilometres (44 miles) long. It is navigable by a small vessel for 28 kilometres (17 miles) from its mouth.

Caribbean Youth Development Institute Jamaica’s Physical Features Plains A plain is a large piece of land with few trees. In Jamaica, the plains lie chiefly on the southern side of the island and are all of the alluvial (loose soil or sediment that has been eroded, reshaped by water in some form, and redeposited in a non- marine setting) formation. Some of the principal plains are in Jamaica are: • Liguanea Plains in Kingston and St. Andrew • Rio CoBre and St. Dorothy Plains in St. Catherine • Plain of Vere in Clarendon • Pedro Plain in St. Elizabeth • George’s Plain in Westmoreland Reference: Carlong Primary Social Studies – David Brian-Campbell et. al. Caribbean Youth Development Institute Jamaica’s Physical Features Mineral Springs Mineral springs are naturally occurring springs that produce water containing minerals and other dissolved substances, such as, salt and sulphur. Mineral springs are used for their therapeutic values and are hot spots for tourists. The most popular mineral springs in Jamaica are: • The warm, saline and radioactive spring at Milk River in Clarendon • The hot, sulphurous spring at Bath in St. Thomas • The Black River Spa in St. Elizabeth • The Moffat Spring on the White River There are also mineral baths fed by cold springs at Rockfort, near Kingston, and at Port Henderson in St. Catherine.

Caribbean Youth Development Institute Jamaica’s Physical Features Harbours and Bays A harbour is a place on the coast protected from the sea by a thick wall where ships and boats can shelter. Meanwhile, a bay is a broad inlet of the sea where the land curves inward. The Kingston HarBour, located in the capital of Jamaica, is the seventh-largest natural harbour in the world. It contains about 13 kilometres (8 miles) of navigable water. It is almost completely landlocked by the Palisadoes, the narrow strip of land which ends at Port Royal. As such, it leaves a deep channel through which even the largest ships can sail. On the north coast of the island, Ocho Rios and Port Rhoades and Port Kaiser and Port Esquivel on the south are the important ports from which bauxite and alumina are exported. Reference: Carlong Primary Social Studies – David Brian-Campbell et. al. Caribbean Youth Development Institute Jamaica’s Physical Features Cays A cay is a low bank, or reef of coral, rock, or sand. Off the coast of Jamaica, there are several Cays. The most important of these are the Morant Cays and the Pedro Cays. The Morant Cays, a cluster of four, lie on a crescent-shaped shoal 55 kilometres (33 miles) south-east of Morant Point. The Pedro Cays, also a cluster of four in number, are situated on the Pedro Bank about 66 kilometres (40 miles) south of Portland Point.

  • Destination Jamaica
    © Lonely Planet Publications 12 Destination Jamaica Despite its location almost smack in the center of the Caribbean Sea, the island of Jamaica doesn’t blend in easily with the rest of the Caribbean archipelago. To be sure, it boasts the same addictive sun rays, sugary sands and pampered resort-life as most of the other islands, but it is also set apart historically and culturally. Nowhere else in the Caribbean is the connection to Africa as keenly felt. FAST FACTS Kingston was the major nexus in the New World for the barbaric triangular Population: 2,780,200 trade that brought slaves from Africa and carried sugar and rum to Europe, Area: 10,992 sq km and the Maroons (runaways who took to the hills of Cockpit Country and the Blue Mountains) safeguarded many of the African traditions – and Length of coastline: introduced jerk seasoning to Jamaica’s singular cuisine. St Ann’s Bay’s 1022km Marcus Garvey founded the back-to-Africa movement of the 1910s and ’20s; GDP (per head): US$4600 Rastafarianism took up the call a decade later, and reggae furnished the beat Inflation: 5.8% in the 1960s and ’70s. Little wonder many Jamaicans claim a stronger affinity for Africa than for neighboring Caribbean islands. Unemployment: 11.3% And less wonder that today’s visitors will appreciate their trip to Jamaica Average annual rainfall: all the more if they embrace the island’s unique character. In addition to 78in the inherent ‘African-ness’ of its population, Jamaica boasts the world’s Number of orchid species best coffee, world-class reefs for diving, offbeat bush-medicine hiking tours, found only on the island: congenial fishing villages, pristine waterfalls, cosmopolitan cities, wetlands 73 (there are more than harboring endangered crocodiles and manatees, unforgettable sunsets – in 200 overall) short, enough variety to comprise many utterly distinct vacations.

Conquest displaced the Spanish colony and its subjects, some of who fled into the mountainous interior of Jamaica and assumed lives in isolation. This project reconstructs the historical experiences of the “negro” populations of Spanish and English Jamaica, which included its “free black”, “mulattoes”, indigenous peoples, and others, and examines how English cosmopolitanism and distinct interactions laid the groundwork for and informed the syncretic identities and communities that emerged decades later. Upon the framework of English conquest within the West Indies, I explore the experiences of one such settlement alongside the early English colony of Jamaica to understand how a formal relationship materialized between the entities and how its course inflected the distinct socio-political identity and emergent political agency embodied by the Jamaican Maroons.

  • WHAT IS a FARM? AGRICULTURE, DISCOURSE, and PRODUCING LANDSCAPES in ST ELIZABETH, JAMAICA by Gary R. Schnakenberg a DISSERTATION
    WHAT IS A FARM? AGRICULTURE, DISCOURSE, AND PRODUCING LANDSCAPES IN ST ELIZABETH, JAMAICA By Gary R. Schnakenberg A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Geography – Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT WHAT IS A FARM? AGRICULTURE, DISCOURSE, AND PRODUCING LANDSCAPES IN ST. ELIZABETH, JAMAICA By Gary R. Schnakenberg This dissertation research examined the operation of discourses associated with contemporary globalization in producing the agricultural landscape of an area of rural Jamaica. Subject to European colonial domination from the time of Columbus until the 1960s and then as a small island state in an unevenly globalizing world, Jamaica has long been subject to operations of unequal power relationships. Its history as a sugar colony based upon chattel slavery shaped aspects of the society that emerged, and left imprints on the ethnic makeup of the population, orientation of its economy, and beliefs, values, and attitudes of Jamaican people. Many of these are smallholder agriculturalists, a livelihood strategy common in former colonial places. Often ideas, notions, and practices about how farms and farming ‘ought-to-be’ in such places results from the operations and workings of discourse. As advanced by Foucault, ‘discourse’ refers to meanings and knowledge circulated among people and results in practices that in turn produce and re-produce those meanings and knowledge. Discourses define what is right, correct, can be known, and produce ‘the world as it is.’ They also have material effects, in that what it means ‘to farm’ results in a landscape that emerges from those meanings. In Jamaica, meanings of ‘farms’ and ‘farming’ have been shaped by discursive elements of contemporary globalization such as modernity, competition, and individualism.

  • The Effects of Urbanization on Natural Resources in Jamaica
    Doneika Simms. The Effects of Urbanization on Natural Resources in Jamaica . 44th ISOCARP Congress 2008 THE EFFECTS OF URBANIZATION ON NATURAL RESOURCES IN JAMAICA BACKGROUND OF STUDY AREA Jamaica is the third largest island in the Caribbean, comprising of approximately 4,400 sq. miles or 10,991 square kilometers in area. Over two-thirds of the country’s land resources consist of a central range of hills and mountains, with the Blue Mountain Range being the most significant, ranging over 6000 ft. in height (GOJ, 1994; Clarke, 2006). This means that urban development in areas such as the capital city of Kingston and other principal towns such as Montego Bay and Ocho Rios is limited to the relatively small amount of flat lands most of which has a coastal location (see figure 1). Figure 1 Showing a Map of Jamaica and the Various Cities along the Coast Source: http://www.sangstersrealty.com/jamaica_map.htm Although a significant portion of the terrain is mountainous, in several places the coastal plain extends to form broad embayments. Among these, a dry embankment on the south side of the island known as the Liguanea Plain has been occupied by the city of Kingston. The built-up area of the city spreads over 50 sq. miles and comprises the parish of Kingston and the suburban section of St. Andrew. The city is located on the eastern side of the island which is sheltered from the north-east trade winds by the Blue Mountains, hence being ideal for the major seaport of the country- the Kingston Harbour (Clarke, 2006).

  • Jamaican Beaches Introduction
    Jamaican Beaches Introduction Visiting the beach is a traditional recreational activity for many Jamaicans. With an increasing population, there is a great demand for the use of beaches. However, many of the public beaches are of poor quality, lack proper facilities, and face the problem of fishermen encroaching. Over the years some of these natural resources are on the verge of destruction because of the inadvertent and/or direct intentions of organizations and individuals. One such threat to the preservation of beaches is pollution. To have healthy environmentally friendly beaches in our Island we must unite to prevent pollution. This display gives an overview of some beaches in Jamaica and existing threats. It also examines the Kingston Harbour and how we can protect these natural resources. Jamaica is blessed with many beautiful beaches in the different parishes; the most popular are located in Westmoreland (Negril), St. Ann, St. James, and St. Catherine (Portmore). Some of the more popular beaches in the parishes: Kingston and St. Andrew Harbour Head Gunboat Copacabana Ocean Lake St. Thomas Lyssons Rozelle South Haven Mezzgar’s Run Retreat Prospect Rocky Point Portland Innis Bay Long Bay Boston Winnifred Blue Hole Hope Bay St. Mary Rio Nuevo Rockmore Murdock St. Ann Roxborough Priory Salem Sailor’s Hole Cardiff Hall Discovery Bay Dunn’s River Beach Trelawny Rio Bueno Braco Silver Sands Flamingo Half Moon Bay St. James Greenwood RoseHall Coral Gardens Ironshore Doctor’s Cave Hanover Tryall Lance’s Bay Bull Bay Westmoreland Little Bay Whitehouse Fonthill Bluefield St. Catherine Port Henderson Hellshire Fort Clarence St. Elizabeth Galleon Hodges Fort Charles Calabash Bay Great Bay Manchester Calabash Bay Hudson Bay Canoe Valley Clarendon Barnswell Dale Jackson Bay The following is a brief summary of some of our beautiful beaches: Walter Fletcher Beach Before 1975 it was an open stretch of public beach in Montego Bay with no landscaping and privacy; it was visible from the main road.
