2018 Map of Lawrence

About this map

The Merrimack River flows through the heart of this industrial landscape, serving as the historical backbone for Lawrence and its surrounding textile-era neighborhoods. This contemporary survey details the urban density from South Lawrence to Methuen Town, while also highlighting the residential character of Shawsheen Village and North Andover. For those interested in local history and genealogy, the map identifies a high concentration of religious landmarks and burial grounds, including the Polish Cem, Lithuanian National Catholic Cem, and Sons of Israel Cem. Beyond the city centers, the terrain transitions into the hills and water bodies that shaped early development, such as Nickel Mine Hill, Haggetts Pond, and the rolling Indian Ridge. The map also traces modern infrastructure, including the O'Reilly Bridge and Duck Bridge, which connect the river's banks.
