1956 Map of Boston South
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
Boston and its sprawling southern neighborhoods are charted here just before the mid-century's major urban renewal projects. The map shows the dense corridor of the New York New Haven and Hartford RR cutting through Roxbury, Dorchester, and down into Mattapan, anchoring the industrial and residential growth of the era. The harbor front is dominated by maritime and military installations, including the U S Naval Reservation and Logan International Airport, while the Neponset River defines the southern boundary near Milton Lower Mills.
