1985 Map of Boston North

About this map

The Mystic River serves as a central artery through this densely developed corridor north of the Charles, winding from Upper Mystic Lake past Medford and Somerville toward the Inner Harbor. The landscape is a complex mix of urban infrastructure and significant preserved spaces, anchored by the expansive Middlesex Fells Reservation and the Breakheart Reservation further northeast. Academic institutions form major landmarks, with the sprawling grounds of Harvard University and Tufts University clearly delineated alongside historic commemorative sites like the Bunker Hill Mon in Charlestown.
