About this map

The dense urban and industrial corridors of Middlesex and Suffolk Counties dominate this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by rapid suburban growth and significant institutional footprints. From the concentration of prestigious academic grounds like Harvard University and Radcliffe College in the south to the massive public tracts of the Middlesex Fells Reservation, the map illustrates the complex social geography of the era. The heavy infrastructure supporting the war effort is evident in the US Naval Reservation and the sprawling B and M RR rail yards in East Somerville.
