The trajectory of the Boston Neck along today's Washington Street. Land to the north and west, formerly a tidal marsh, has since been filled in. The much narrower and shorter Fort Point Channel remains to the southeast.

The Boston Neck or Roxbury Neck was an isthmus, a narrow strip of land connecting the peninsular Boston, Massachusetts to the mainland city of Roxbury (now a neighborhood of Boston). The surrounding land was gradually filled in as the city of Boston expanded in population. (See History of Boston, Massachusetts.)
