1893 Map of Lawrence

USGS Topo · Published 1908

About this map

The Merrimac River anchors this 1880s landscape, serving as the industrial heart for Lawrence and South Lawrence as textile manufacturing defined the regional economy. This survey documents the dense concentration of textile infrastructure and the intricate rail web required to move goods and people, including the Main Line of Boston and Maine Railroad and the Manchester and Lawrence Railroad. Beyond the mills, the map captures the ecclesiastical and institutional character of the era, notably the grounds of the Andover Theological Seminary and the sprawling State Almshouse near Tewksbury Center.
