These two very large maps detail Boston Harbor at the turn of the 20th century. Each is color-coded to show ownership along the harbor including land belonging to the state and several railroads. Details include docks, piers, soundings, channels and more. The second map extends to Nantasket in the southeast and shows several channels in red overprinting that were to be dredged. Both maps were issued by the Board of Harbor and Land Commissioners Office.
