1970 Map of Concord

About this map

Concord and its literary and revolutionary heritage are central to this landscape, where landmarks like the Old North Bridge and the Minute Man Mon reflect the town's historical prominence. The map shows the dense network of local roads such as the Cambridge Turnpike and Lexington Road meeting at the town center, while Authors Ridge and the Old Burying Ground highlight the area's deep genealogical roots. To the south, the preservation of natural spaces is evident in the Walden Pond State Res, famously associated with Henry David Thoreau, and the extensive Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge bordering the Sudbury River.
