Next in line are Richmond Peak (3,533 ft.) and Mt. Brisbane (3,058 ft.), followed<br />

by Grand Bonhomme (3,181 ft.), Petit Bonhomme (2,481 ft.), and Mt. St. Andrew<br />

(2,413 ft.), the major peaks in the remainder <strong>of</strong> the central mountains from north<br />

to south.<br />

The topography <strong>of</strong> the remainder <strong>of</strong> the island is characterized by numerous<br />

sharp lateral ridges running from these steep ridges <strong>of</strong> the central range and<br />

deep-cut valleys and high vertical coastal cliffs on the leeward side <strong>of</strong> the island.<br />

The valleys on the windward side are wider and flatter, falling to a fairly flat<br />

coastal plain.<br />
