USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
The dense urban corridor of eastern Massachusetts is meticulously detailed here, centered on the historic State House and the bustling waterfront of Boston Harbor. This mid-1980s planimetric survey captures the region at a height of post-war suburban maturity and technological growth, stretching from the academic hubs of Harvard University and Mit in Cambridge out toward the emerging tech corridor. The infrastructure of the era is prominent, featuring the Mass Turnpike and the encircling Route 128, which define the commute between settlements like Waltham, Newton, and Lexington.
