About this map

Boston Harbor is defined by a strategic network of defensive fortifications and civil institutions in this late-1940s survey. The landscape is dominated by the militarization of the outer islands, where Ft Strong, Ft Warren, and Ft Standish guard the shipping lanes of President Roads and The Narrows. Along the northern edge, the early footprint of Logan International Airport appears beside Winthrop, while Deer Island houses a large House of Correction.
