1958 Map of Concord

About this map

The town of Concord and its surroundings appear as a landscape preserved in its literary and revolutionary history, even as mid-century infrastructure begins to reshape the region. The map meticulously charts the burial grounds and scholarly institutions central to the area's identity, from Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and the Old Burying Ground to Concord Academy and the Middlesex Sch. This 1958 revision captures the area before modern suburbanization fully took hold, preserving the relationship between the Concord River and the small-scale agricultural lots that still dominated the western portion of the quadrangle.
