A Plan of the Town of Boston and its Environs shows the colonial port as a compact peninsula crowded with wharves, church steeples and the narrow necks of land that tied it to the mainland. Maps of this kind were prized by merchants, officers and anyone planning a voyage, since they showed harbor channels, the tangle of streets near the waterfront and the approaches to the town by land and sea. Worth noticing is how the map presents Boston as a commercial town first, with its shipping and docks given as much attention as its public buildings.
