2018 Map of Lexington

About this map

Lexington and Arlington anchor this detailed study of the suburban landscape northwest of Boston, where dense residential networks meet significant glacial terrain features. The map illustrates the topographic prominence of heights such as Mt Gilboa, Wellington Hill, and Mt Ephraim, which separate the various drainage basins of Beaver Brook and the Mystic River. This era shows a fully developed commuter corridor, yet it preserves numerous historical sites including the Old Burying Ground in Winchester and the Prince Hall Mystic Cem in Medford. Cultural and educational landmarks like Bentley Univ and the Northeastern Univ Kostas Institute appear alongside established recreational waters like Horn Pond and Spy Pond. The presence of the B & M RR and numerous cemeteries, such as Munroe Cem and Saint Patricks Cem, provides a detailed geographic framework for local history and genealogical research.
