2012 Map of Lexington

About this map

Ye Olde Burying Ground and the Old Belfry stand as central landmarks in this densely developed corridor northwest of Boston. This 2012 representation of Middlesex County illustrates the modern suburban landscape of Lexington, Woburn, and Arlington, where contemporary research facilities like Ledgemont Research Park sit alongside preserved early-industrial sites such as the Old Schwab Mill. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent drumlins and hills, including Mount Gilboa and Mount Ephraim, which separate the residential neighborhoods from the commercial centers of Central Square and Waverley. Educational and scientific institutions figure prominently in the landscape, from the Harvard Observatory and Radcliffe College in the south to the Northeastern University Suburban Campus near Babylon Hill. Transit patterns are clearly visible through the numerous commuter rail stops, including Beaver Brook Station and Munroe Station, which continue to shape the growth of these historic towns.
