About this map

Massachusetts Bay defines the character of this coastal survey, where the rugged South Shore meets the Atlantic. The shoreline is punctuated by a dense collection of named ledges, rocks, and points, from The Graves in the north to the iconic Minots Ledge Lighthouse and The Glades at the southern edge. The map captures the specialized geography of the era, noting the position of the Boston Lightship and the complex waterways of Little Harbor and the Weir River.
