Civil War era plan of Boston showing the enormously ambitious land reclamation projects active in the city.
Chief among these is the long running Back Bay land reclamation project, which after a slow start, finally began to be constructed in 1859. It was not completed until the 1890s. Even in this 1862 edition of the map, many other parts of the surrounding shore line are either under construction or projected. Original colour. [USA9655]
