Richard Copies of these maps are held by The National Archives (Public Record Office) under the following references: Bermuda by Emanuel Bowen, c1750 CO 700/Bermuda6 St Kitts by Emanuel Bowen, c1750 CO 700/CO 700/ST. CHRISTOPHER AND NEVIS4 - taken from the PRO catalogue St Kitts by Samuel Baker, 1753 CO 700/ST. CHRISTOPHER AND NEVIS5 - again taken from the PRO catalogue It is worth checking the PRO catalogue at http://catalogue.pro.gov.uk and 'Maps and Plans in the Public Record Office. Vol 2 America and West Indies' for early manuscript and published maps of the British American colonies - the Colonial Office and War Office created quite detailed map collections which have been transferred to The National Archives (PRO). Hope that this helps.
