Baedeker's Downtown Boston, 1906

The companion to Wagner & Debes's regional map, this sheet zooms in on the downtown peninsula at 1:25,600. The same terracotta, blue, and green palette renders every block, park, and waterway at a scale where individual streets are easy to read. An inset of East Boston appears at the top, and a side index catalogs points of interest for the visiting tourist. North is oriented toward the upper left.

  • The inset map of East Boston in the upper portion. It's drawn at the same scale as the main map.
  • The index of points of interest along the margin, each locatable within the street grid.
  • North is toward the upper left. The German engravers rotated the peninsula to fill the page efficiently.

All prints are high-quality reproductions made from museum-grade scans at 300 DPI. Depending on the original scan dimensions, some prints may include white fill along the edges.
