1989 Map of Boston

About this map

Boston and its dense surrounding metropolitan landscape are captured here during a period of significant late-20th-century expansion. The map illustrates the complex infrastructure connecting the coastal hub to inland centers like Worcester and Framingham, defined by a maturing network of interstate highways including I-95 and the Mass Pike. Beyond the urban core of Cambridge and Somerville, the preservation of green space is evident in the Blue Hills Reservation and the Middlesex Fells Reservation, alongside the sprawling waters of the Wachusett Reservoir.
