1903 Map of Boston

USGS Topo · Published 1925

About this map

Boston Harbor and its surrounding suburbs are shown at a peak of late-Victorian industrial and institutional growth, with dense rail corridors and a network of hills defining the landscape. Industrial activity centers around the Navy Yard and U.S. Marine Hospital, while higher ground is claimed by landmark institutions like Harvard University and Tufts College. The map highlights a sophisticated early urban planning movement, preserving natural spaces in the Middlesex Fells, the Arnold Arboretum, and the Stony Brook Reservation.
