1967 Map of Concord

About this map

The Merrimack River serves as the central artery for this mid-century capital landscape, winding past the urban core of Concord and defining the industrial and agricultural character of the region. This 1967 survey, with revisions from the early 1980s, reveals a city in transition, where established institutions like the State Hospital and St Pauls Sch occupy large tracts of land while the Everett Turnpike and numerous interchanges signal postwar suburban expansion. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Rattlesnake Hill and Rum Hill, overlooking the dense network of cemeteries including Blossom Hill Cemetery and Old North Cem.
