This manuscript map by British military engineer Thomas Hyde Page records Boston, its harbor, and the surrounding landscape during the opening year of the American Revolution. Created around 1775, it maps the city alongside fortifications associated with the Siege of Boston, placing military positions within a remarkably detailed representation of the harbor and surrounding terrain.

Boston sits as a compact peninsula amid islands, channels, roads, and hachured hills. Muted green waterways, warm cream paper, touches of red, delicate soundings, and finely drawn defensive works give the map both geographic precision and an unusually atmospheric character. Its combination of military information and carefully observed landscape makes it a compelling example of eighteenth-century manuscript cartography.
