This image is a historical map depicting a proposed rapid transit system for the Boston metropolitan area. The black-and-white map outlines various subway and elevated rail lines radiating from the central downtown area to surrounding suburbs. The map labels areas served by distinct transit lines (marked as A, B, C, D, and E), referencing tunnels, subways, elevated tracks, and reservation lines. Key population numbers are listed for regions corresponding to each transit area:

• A: East Boston Tunnel (Population: 92,000)
• B: Elevated (North) Washington Street Tunnel (Population: 258,200)
• C: Cambridge Subway/East Cambridge Elevated (Population: 150,200)
• D: Riverbank Subway/Reservation Lines (Population: 97,700)
• E: Elevated (South) Washington Street Tunnel (Population: 391,400)

The map incorporates existing subway/elevated lines (solid white lines), proposed subway/elevated connections (dashed lines), and supplementary surface tracks. The locations of towns like Brookline, Arlington, Belmont, Chelsea, and others are marked, showing how the transit system would integrate across the region. At the bottom left, the date “Feb. 13, ’10” is noted, indicating the map was created in 1910 as a vision for future transportation in Boston.

The image is a black and white map illustrating a proposed rapid transit system for the Boston area as of February 13, 1910. The map identifies various towns and cities surrounding Boston, including East Boston, Somerville, Cambridge, Brookline, and several others, with main routes connecting these areas depicted as lines on the map.

A legend at the top of the map uses letters A through E to categorize different areas based on the transit tunnels or lines serving them:

• A: Served by East Boston Tunnel
• B: Served by Elevated (North) Washington St. Tunnel
• C: To be served by Cambridge Subway & East Cambridge Elevated
• D: To be served by Riverbank Subway & Reservation Lines
• E: Served by Elevated (South) Washington St. Tunnel

The map further differentiates between existing and proposed transit lines. Existing subways and elevated lines are represented by solid white lines, while proposed subways and elevated lines are shown as dashed white lines. Surface tracks supplementing the rapid transit lines appear as regular lines.

Population numbers for different regions are also displayed on the map:

• Region A (East Boston) has a population of 92,000.
• Region B (northern area served by Washington St. Tunnel) has a population of 258,200.
• Region C (Belmont area) has a population of 150,200.
