About this map

Charlestown and the northern reaches of Cambridge anchor the southern edge of this study, where the Mystic River meets the Boston Inner Harbor. This era shows a densely developed corridor stretching north through Everett and Malden, where industrial and residential sectors are defined by historic cemeteries and massive infrastructure. The M J Tobin Memorial Bridge spans the water, connecting these urban centers to the burgeoning outskirts.

Academic landmarks like Harvard University, Radcliffe College, and Tufts University are central to the landscape, while the northern sections in Stoneham and Saugus transition into rugged terrain marked by Harts Hill and the Fells Reservoir. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous local burial sites, from the Old Burying Ground in the north to the Salem Street Burying Ground and Woodlawn Cem.
