1950 Map of Billerica

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Concord River carves a winding path through this mid-century landscape, linking the industrial fringes of South Lowell with the expanding residential clusters of Billerica and Chelmsford Center. The geography is defined by a transition from traditional mill-and-rail infrastructure to modern institutional footprints, visible in the presence of the House of Correction and the extensive U S Veterans Hospital grounds near Bedford Springs. Significant local history is preserved in the numerous burial grounds, including the Edson Cem and St Joseph Cem, which sit alongside the Boston and Maine RR corridors.
