Map of Boston

A multicolored map of the city and the surrounding area in the early twentyth century. Published by Rand McNally & Company in 1909. There has been dramatic growth to the region due to immigration from all over Europe. Arriving to staff busy factories, immigrant families settled in places like the largely Italian North End or the predominantly Irish “Southy”.
Major buildings, parks, cemeteries, docks, and streets are in detail. At the bottom are two inset maps showing the environs of Boston and the business portion of Boston. Guaranteed to be authentic and over one hundred years old.
