1961 Map of Boston
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The industrial corridor of the Merrimack and Charles River valleys appears in high detail during the early 1960s, showing the dense network of roads and rails connecting Boston to regional hubs like Worcester and Lowell. This period of post-war suburbanization is evident in the expanding residential grids surrounding academic anchors like Tufts College and Wellesley College. Maritime and military history is densely packed along the coast, from the historic Bunker Hill Monument to the harbor defenses of Fort Independence and Fort Revere.
