Fort Warren on Georges Island and Fort Andrews on Peddocks Island stand as sentinels over the approaches to the harbor, anchoring a landscape defined by coastal defense and maritime commerce. This survey details the intricate network of channels and ledges that guide vessels through President Roads and Nantasket Roads. The coastline is dotted with navigation aids such as the Boston Lighthouse and Bug Light, alongside the industrial legacy of the Hingham Shipyard in Broad Cove. Residential development is concentrated in the established neighborhoods of Hull, including Pemberton, Allerton, and Waveland, while the mainland features the expansive grounds of Mount Wollaston Cem and the aviation infrastructure of Logan International Airport. The map captures the complex geography of the outer harbor islands, from the rocky outcrops of The Brewsters to the flats surrounding Deer Island.
