2023 Map of Concord

About this map

Minute Man National Historical Park anchors this study of the landscape surrounding Concord, where modern infrastructure meets revolutionary heritage. The map details the complex geography of the Sudbury River and Concord River, preserved within the Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. Cultural landmarks like Walden Pond and Egg Rock are charted alongside aviation centers such as Hanscom Air Force Base and Laurence G Hanscom Field. Genealogists will find several burial sites, including the Old Burying Ground and Saint Bernard's Catholic Cem. The preservation of open spaces like Fairyland Pond and Authors Ridge contrasts with the dense residential and transit networks of Waltham and Bedford. Modern recreational corridors like the Mass Central/Wayside Rail-Trl and Minuteman Bikeway Trl follow the path of earlier rail routes, illustrating the evolution of transport in Middlesex County.
