2018 Map of Boston North

About this map

The dense urban and industrial landscape of the north Boston metropolitan area is defined by its deep historical roots and intricate water systems. From the colonial-era Phipps Street Burying Ground near Bunker Hill to the industrial legacy of the Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site, the map reveals a corridor where early American history meets modern infrastructure. The Middlesex Fells reservation provides a significant green space, punctuated by landmarks like Spot Pond and Bear Hill, which overlook a tightly packed network of neighborhoods including Melrose Highlands, Oak Grove, and Edgeworth. Significant maritime and transport features like the M J Tobin Memorial Bridge and the General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport underscore the region's role as a major hub, while numerous local cemeteries such as the Old Burying Ground Cem and Woodlawn Cem offer touchpoints for genealogical research.
