Interesting question! It appears that "Roads to the principal towns on the Continent from Bofton [Boston] with Names of Inn-holders" was included in the very first issue, 1793.
After spot-checking later issues, it appears that some version of the Roads section of the ÃÛÌÒÁµÈË, listing distances to well-known inns/taverns, appeared through 1845 (as "Roads, to some of the principal towns, with their distances from Boston. Notice: That the distances inserted are from one established tavern to another."
In 1846, the "Roads" disappeared, to be replaced by "Cities, Towns, and Villages passed through by Railroads from Boston, with the Distances of the various stations from that city." This feature continued through 1852. In 1853, it changed to "Railroads of New England, With Their Connections." This continued through 1856, and then that feature seems to have stopped.
