The Merrimack River serves as the industrial and geographical spine of this mid-1960s study, dividing the dense urban centers of Lawrence and Methuen from the expanding suburban reaches of Andover and North Andover. The map reveals a landscape in transition, where the heavy infrastructure of the Boston and Maine railroad and historic textile-era density meet the modern arrival of Interstate 93 and Interstate 495. This era of development is juxtaposed against deep-rooted institutional history, including the campuses of Phillips Academy and Merrimack College.
