1956 Map of Boston North

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Middlesex Fells Reservation dominates the western interior of this landscape, preserving a cluster of high points like Bear Hill and Winthrop Hill alongside the Winchester Reservoir and Spot Pond. This mid-century survey documents the dense urban expansion north of Boston, where the Boston and Maine RR corridors connect established neighborhoods from Melrose and Malden down to the industrial waterfronts of the Mystic River. Significant institutional footprints are visible throughout, including the U S Naval Hospital in Chelsea and the sprawling campus of Harvard University in Cambridge.
