1970 Map of Boston South
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The Charles River Basin and the dense urban core of Boston anchor this 1970s record, capturing a period of significant transit and infrastructure revision. Purple revision overlays highlight the expansion of modern highways and changes to the city's complex shoreline, from the industrial Reserved Channel in South Boston to the burgeoning runways of Logan International Airport. The map traces a high concentration of institutional and historical landmarks, including the prestigious campuses of Harvard University and the Mass Institute of Technology, as well as the venerable Faneuil Hall in the city center.
