About this map

Dense residential and industrial development dominates the northern Boston suburbs in the years following World War II, showing a landscape tightly integrated by the Boston and Maine RR. The massive Middlesex Fells Reservation provides a significant green space, anchoring the region with Spot Pond and the Zoological Park. Along the southern edge, the industrial activity of Mystic Wharf and the US Naval Reservation highlights the area's maritime importance near Boston Harbor.
