The Merrimack River bisects this industrial and residential landscape, anchoring the dense urban core of Lawrence and its surrounding neighborhoods. By the mid-1960s, the region shows a complex layering of legacy infrastructure and modern expansion, with the Boston and Maine railroad lines threading through the city while Interstate 93 and Interstate 495 redefine the outer reaches of Methuen and Andover. Genealogists will find a high density of parochial and civic landmarks, from the St Clares Monastery to numerous burial grounds such as Bellevue Cemetery and the Syrian Cem.
