There were three more rangeways west of Powder House square, which were numbered from one to three, all running northerly from Broadway over College hill. Rangeway No. 1 came into Broadway about opposite Simpson avenue, but it is now extinct. Rangeway No. 2 is now Curtis street, and No. 2 is North street. The Stinted pasture did not include any land north of Broadway which lay to the eastward of Powder House square; the larger part of this land was the Ten Hills Farm, granted to Governor Winthrop in 1630. Nor did it seem to include any territory south of Washington street and Somerville avenue. The boundaries of the Governor Winthrop estate were well defined but the locations of lands which were granted south of the Stinted pasture, and which extended to the Cambridge line, are very obscure in the earlier records. Thus has been sketched the laying out and beginning of that section of our city which we may very appropriately name the Highlands of Somerville, covering nearly
