Boston Map Art Prints
Boston's street map follows the old cow paths and property lines of its colonial past, creating an irregular web that defies the grid—most visible in the tight angles of downtown and the Financial District. The Charles River curves through the northern edge, with the Mystic River bounding the northeast, while the harbor archipelago of islands and the Fort Point Channel cut into the downtown core. The Emerald Necklace, a chain of parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, threads from Boston Common through the Back Bay Fens down to Franklin Park, visible as a green sinew across the city's map.
