About this map

Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology anchor the dense urban corridor along the Charles River Basin in this mid-century survey of the metropolitan area. The map illustrates a complex landscape where academic institutions, massive medical centers like Mass General Hospital, and industrial waterfronts meet. Significant green spaces, including Franklin Park and the Arnold Arboretum, break the residential grids of Jamaica Plain and Roslindale.
