1987 Map of Boston South
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The Charles River winds through this late-twentieth-century landscape, linking the industrial legacy of the Watertown Arsenal to the academic corridors of Northeastern University and Boston University. The map documents a densely developed urban and suburban corridor before the massive infrastructural shifts of the turn of the century, showing the Mass Turnpike and Southeast Expwy as they integrated the city's neighborhoods. Beyond the downtown core, the sheet details the residential and institutional character of places like Brookline Village, Newton Center, and Jamaica Plain.
