1941 Map of Blue Hills

About this map

The Blue Hills Reservation dominates this 1941 edition, showcasing a landscape defined by prominent peaks like Great Blue Hill and Chickatawbut Hill just before the region’s postwar suburban acceleration. The Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory sits atop the heights, overlooking a transition from the forested ridges of Milton to the industrial and residential clusters of Quincy and Braintree. This survey, compiled in part from aerial photography, captures the New Haven RR corridor as it connects established towns like Randolph and Holbrook.
