I'm in the process of attempting to map out Boston's long lost waterways using ward maps from the late 1800s/early 1900s. I get the feeling that most people don't think of Boston as one of those places with large drains and rivers below our feet, but we have our fair share and I hope to map out the largest ones.
Anyways, this morning I've been working on Stony Brook. I'm calling it quits on this one for now, though. The gentrification, realignments of street and rail, etc make it nearly impossible to identify some areas of Boston for what they are today... I start forgetting what map is in each tab and trying to keep track of everything just becomes overwhelming. Anyways, here is what I have so far:

I'm confused as to why one plate shows two separate conduits and I have maps which show them further downstream with one disappearing somewhere between two. It's pretty confusing. I have no idea if there's a splitting point or something somewhere as I can't locate maps for that area.
