The dense urban grid of Boston and Cambridge is captured here, showcasing a landscape defined by centuries of history and massive 20th-century infrastructure projects. From the colonial-era Copps Hill Burial Ground and Granary Burying Ground near the Beacon Hill neighborhood to the modern expanse of Logan International Airport, the map traces the evolution of Massachusetts' capital. The shoreline along the Charles River and Fort Point Channel reveals the extensive landmaking that created districts like Back Bay and the industrial waterfront at City Point.
