About this map

Lexington and its surrounding Revolutionary War-era landscapes appear here in high-resolution detail, showing a densely settled corridor of eastern Massachusetts. The map illustrates how historic village centers like Woburn, Winchester, and Arlington have integrated into a continuous suburban fabric while preserving significant landmarks of early American history. Notable sites of memory include the Old Burying Ground and Munroe Cemetery, alongside the Longfellow NHS further south.

Modern infrastructure and education are well represented, from the Bentley University campus in Waltham to the transit nodes of Munroe Station and Clematis Brook Station. The terrain is defined by drumlins and hills such as Belfry Hill and Wellington Hill, which dictated the early layout of roads and rail lines. Natural spaces like Fresh Pond, the Arlington Reservoir, and the Western Greenway provide a stark contrast to the surrounding residential blocks of East Lexington and Medford Hillside.
