1946 Map of Boston North

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The dense urban and suburban landscape north of Boston Harbor is captured here during the post-war industrial peak of the late 1940s. The region is defined by a heavy concentration of cemeteries and hospitals, such as the sprawling Woodlawn Cem and Holy Cross Cem, alongside vital regional infrastructure like Logan International Airport. The Boston and Maine RR network stitches together well-established towns from Malden and Everett to Melrose, while large tracts of open space like the Middlesex Fells Reservation and Stoneham Zoological Park provide a stark contrast to the surrounding grid-pattern neighborhoods.
