Summary
This layer is a georeferenced raster image of a map plate of a section of Boston, Massachusetts from the G.W. Bromley and Co. atlas entitled: Atlas of the city of Boston : Boston proper and Back Bay, from actual surveys and official plans, by George W. and Walter S. Bromley, published 1912. This image is of Plate 26, part of wards 9 and 12, city of Boston. Scale 1:960. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Massachusetts State Plane Coordinate System, Mainland Zone (in Feet) (Fipszone 2001). All map collar and inset information is also available as part of the raster image, including any inset maps, profiles, statistical tables, directories, text, illustrations, index maps, legends, or other information associated with the principal map. These large scale fire insurance maps typically include: building footprints, building construction material (frame, brick, stone, iron), stables and sheds, building floors, selected owner names, selected building functions, property boundaries, building street addresses, street names, railroads, fire hydrants, water main pipelines (with size in inches), sewers, assessors area, and more. Building construction material is shown by colored shading. The index plate of the atlas includes an explanation of map features. This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic fire insurance and land ownership atlases of Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts from the Harvard Map Collection. The selection of scanned atlases represents a range of originators and ground condition dates (1873-1916).
