1903 Map of Boston
USGS Topo · Published 1912About this map
Boston Harbor and its surrounding coastal settlements appear in a state of rapid expansion at the beginning of the twentieth century. The industrial and military significance of the waterfront is anchored by the Navy Yard in Charlestown and the Marine Hospital in Chelsea, while defensive positions like Ft. Independence and Ft. Winthrop guard the inner harbor. The landscape transitions from the dense urban grid of South Boston and East Boston to the academic and recreational grounds of Tufts College, Middlesex Fells, and the Arnold Arboretum.
