How to read this map

Countries with a coast on Massachusetts Bay: the United States.

The blue outline marks Massachusetts Bay as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Boston, Providence, Lowell, Salem, Worcester, Manchester, New Bedford and Newport. Labeled states and countries: Rhode Island.

Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders, and fine dashed lines show state or province borders.

The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of Massachusetts Bay come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where Massachusetts Bay is, not a surveyed boundary.
