In the process of beginning to understand the land/water condition of Boston Harbor, a map showing the relief and bathymetry of the region is helpful. On the land, drumlin fields are prominent as are the upland conditions above the fall line. To the sea, the Harbor Islands emerge as part a larger topographic system that has been drowned by increasing sea level since the last Ice Age. Furthermore, the hardened edge of the built coastal environment and linearly dredged shipping lanes are clearly visible. The line just offshore denotes MLLW, which begins to get at the flexible and temporal interface this project will explore in much greater detail...
