Map of Old Boston

I’m a sucker for old maps and I ran across this one and I couldn’t help putting it up.  This map shows the Back Bay to be part of Roxbury.  I can’t tell completely but it may be from before the Back Bay was built on land fill.  There is very little of a South End on this map, it is all within Roxbury, Jamaica Plain is not not recognized as a neighborhood, its just part of West Roxbury and Dorcester looks very much the same as it does today.
