He based this on his earlier engraving showing the landing of British troops in October 1768, an event that hastened the American Revolution. We have doubled the size of the original to show more clearly the many fascinating details of the city and its crowded harbor.

John G. Hales used earlier surveys to produce this map in 1820, which he updated in 1833. The survey encompasses greater Boston, including Concord and Salem to the north, Plymouth to the south and E. Sudbury to the west. It is a valuable geographic record of the region, showing railroads, turnpikes, ponds, islands, hills, meeting houses and many settlements. The facsimile is reduced approximately one-fifth from the original size.
