2012 Map of Boston South

About this map

The dense urban fabric of Boston and its surrounding neighborhoods is meticulously detailed in this early 21st-century record. The map spans from the historic heights of Beacon Hill and the academic campuses of Harvard Univ and Mit in the north, down through the residential grids of Dorchester and Jamaica Plain. The waterfront is a central focus, illustrating the industrial and logistical infrastructure of Boston Inner Harbor with its numerous piers, including the Mystic Piers and Constitution Wharf. Local history and genealogy interest is particularly high due to the identification of several colonial-era landmarks, including the Granary Burying Ground and Copps Hill Burying Ground. Southward, the landscape transitions toward the Neponset River and the distinct peninsulas of Squantum and City Point, providing a comprehensive view of the city's complex coastal geography and established transportation corridors like the Mbta rail lines.
