This map illustrates the extensive network of the Bay State Street Railway Company, depicting electric streetcar and interurban lines across eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island in the early twentieth century. Centered on the Boston metropolitan area, the map radiates outward in dense red lines that trace routes connecting urban cores, industrial towns, and coastal communities. Boston appears as the dominant hub, with multiple lines converging and branching toward Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, and the South Shore.

The cartography balances transportation emphasis with geographic clarity. Town names, county boundaries, rivers, and shorelines are rendered in muted tones, allowing the vivid red transit lines to stand out prominently. The network extends north toward Lowell and Lawrence, west into Worcester County, and south through Brockton to Fall River, New Bedford, and Newport, illustrating the regional reach of electric traction before the dominance of automobiles.

A prominent title notes “940 miles of lines in New England,” underscoring the scale and ambition of the system. The coastline of Cape Cod and Narragansett Bay is carefully drawn, situating the railways within a recognizable New England landscape. At the bottom, a condensed index lists principal points served, reinforcing the map’s practical function for passengers and planners alike.

As a historical artifact, the map captures a peak moment in interurban transportation, reflecting how street railways structured daily mobility, suburban growth, and economic integration across southern New England.
