About this map

The narrow peninsula of Hull and the surrounding islands of Boston Harbor define this mid-1980s coastal survey. The complex maritime geography of the region is evident in the network of shipping channels like President Roads and The Narrows, which navigate between prominent landforms such as Long Island and Peddocks Island. Defensive history is prominent through the coastal fortifications of Fort Warren, Fort Standish, and Fort Dawes, marking strategic points across the harbor.

Along the coast, the residential and recreational character of the South Shore is seen in the linear settlements of Nantasket Beach, Kenberma, and Bayside. The map captures a high level of infrastructure detail, from the sprawling Logan International Airport in the north to the Sewage Disposal facilities and U S Coast Guard Station. Natural features like Worlds End and Straits Pond near North Cohasset provide a look at the preserved landscapes and tidal areas that have shaped local development and conservation efforts.
