About this map

Boston Harbor's outer islands and coastal defenses are meticulously charted in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by military installations and maritime navigation. The harbor's entrance is guarded by a chain of fortifications including Ft Strong on Long Island, Ft Standish on Lovell Island, and Ft Warren on Georges Island. These sites, along with several historic lighthouses like Boston L H, illustrate the strategic importance of the shipping lanes through President Roads and The Narrows.
