Some of these were already listed in the article without inline citations; others I've found. I'm not using any of them in my current expansion of the article, but they may later be useful as sources or background. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:31, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

I've moved the pictures to more relevant locations. The picture of the source of the brook, Turtle Pond, was at the end of the article, for some reason, so I brought it to the 'Route' section where the Pond is mentioned. I also moved the Boston map to the section that discussed the same tie period as that of the map's publication. I hope there are no objections.

@Pi.1415926535: I see you have reverted the edit, not that it particularly matters, but did you read my reasoning above? I still feel it's odd to show a pic of the source of the brook at the end of the article, and the Boston map in the section that does not discuss that time period when there is such a section right after.

@Pi.1415926535: I agree about not needing to resize, btw. Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI converse | fings wot i hav dun 16:49, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
@Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI: I apologize for not replying on the talk page when I reverted - somehow I missed it on my watchlist. I believe the map should be in the route section, regardless of when it was produced. The image of Turtle Pond makes sense in a section that begins Stony Brook Reservation, which includes Turtle Pond and the first 1 mile (1.6 km) of Stony Brook,.... This image placement also works for the amount of text; your edit produced an awkward stack of images, with several images displaced from the relevant text. It also caused a substantial amount of text to be sandwiched between two images, which is discouraged by the MOS. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 17:27, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
Alright then. I hadn't suspected that I'd be forming a wall of pictures, I'd forgotten about how that would happen on mobile view. Cheers. Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI converse | fings wot i hav dun 17:32, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
And I was using a computer the monitor of which made the page look perfectly fine, so I'd disregarded how it would've looked on other screens.  Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI converse | fings wot i hav dun 17:35, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
