Jolly Hill Dam

Location: 17°43’53.97″N 64°51’39.11″W

While not a mill site, this old dam, located on the south of Mahogany Road at the intersection of Jolly-Oxford Drive, was important, not to Estate Jolly Hill, but to Frederiksted itself. In the very poor quality image of the “sluice gate looking west”, one can make out the aqueduct feeding water down the side of Mahogany Road past Little LaGrange. Sections of this aqueduct still exist. The reservoir existed alongside Mahogany Road, heading back into the Rainforest.
