1903 Map of Boston

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

Boston Harbor and its surrounding industrial and academic landscape are captured in high detail at the turn of the century. The map illustrates the dense urban expansion from the Navy Yard and South Boston outward into residential and institutional centers like Tufts College and the Arnold Arboretum. A network of major rail lines, including the Fitchburg Division and Boston and Maine R. R., radiates from the core, connecting maritime hubs to suburban towns like Winchester and Waltham.
