1958 Map of Boston
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Boston and the surrounding industrial corridor of the late 1950s appear here in transition, showing the density of eastern Massachusetts just before the peak of suburban expansion. The map details a complex web of coastal defenses and maritime landmarks, including Fort Independence, Fort Warren, and the prominent lighthouse at Minot. This survey captures the region's heavy reliance on its river systems, from the power-generating Merrimack River supporting Lowell and Lawrence to the inland reaches of the Blackstone River near Woonsocket.
