2018 Map of Billerica

About this map

The Concord River carves a winding path through the heart of Middlesex County, anchoring a landscape where suburban growth meets significant ecological preserves. This 2018 survey captures the dense residential neighborhoods of Lowell and Billerica alongside extensive protected wetlands such as Great Meadows and the River Meadow Swamp. The map reveals a high concentration of established burial grounds that serve as touchstones for local genealogy, including the Forefathers Burying Ground Cem in Chelmsford and the sprawling Saint Joseph Cem. The transition from the industrial character of South Lowell to the more open terrain around Nutting Lake and Great Swamp illustrates the region's diverse land use. Detailed labeling of historical thoroughfares like the Old Middlesex Tpke and numerous nature trails, such as the Pepper Grass Trail, provides a clear view of how modern recreation and historical transit routes coexist in this corner of Massachusetts.
