2023 Map of Boston South

About this map

Copps Hill Burial Ground and the Granary Burying Ground anchor the core of this modern survey, which details the dense urban and academic corridors of the Massachusetts capital. The map traces the winding course of the Charles River as it divides the campuses of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from the historic neighborhoods of Back Bay and Roxbury. To the east, the sprawling facilities of Logan International Airport overlook the harbor islands and the strategic fortifications at Fort Independence. South of the city center, the terrain transitions into the residential districts of Dorchester Center and Jamaica Plain, where numerous cemeteries like Saint Marys Cem and the Dorchester South Burying Ground Cem provide significant points of interest for genealogists. The intricate network of waterways, from Fort Point Channel to the Neponset River, highlights the maritime and riverine character that has shaped the city's growth into the 21st century.
