About this map

The peninsula of Hull and its surrounding archipelago define the maritime landscape of this late-twentieth-century survey. Extending from Pemberton through the narrow stretches of Windermere and Kenberma to Hampton, the map captures a densely settled coastal community anchored by Nantasket Ave. The strategic military history of the outer harbor is evident in the presence of Fort Warren on Georges Island, Fort Standish on Lovell Island, and Fort Dawes on Deer Island, marking the historic defenses of President Roads.

Southward, the landscape transitions to the distinctive drumlins and conservation areas of Hingham Harbor, including the landforms of Worlds End and Planters Hill. The sheet detail extends to Winthrop in the north, where Logan International Airport borders the residential blocks near Winthrop Cem. From the rocky outcrops of Little Harbor in Cohasset to the various channels like Hypocrite Channel and Nubble Channel, the map provides an intricate view of the seafaring approaches to Boston Harbor.
