1892 Map of Boston Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1901

About this map

The maritime landscape of the Massachusetts coast near Lynn and Marblehead is defined by an intricate network of late-nineteenth-century rail lines and coastal defenses. Surveyed before the turn of the century, the geography shows the original configurations of Nahant Beach and the narrow corridor of the Revere Beach and Lynn R.R. connecting seaside communities. The map captures a high level of detail along the harbor's edge, from the industrial reaches of East Saugus to the isolated prominence of Egg Rock Light.
