1944 Map of Lexington

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Lexington and its surrounding Middlesex County townships appear in this 1943 survey as a landscape of established residential centers and significant institutional grounds just before the post-war suburban boom. The map detail highlights an era when large-scale facilities like the Metropolitan State Hospital, Middlesex County Sanatorium, and Fernald State Sch occupied substantial tracts of land between the historic village cores. In Cambridge, academic landmarks such as Radcliffe College and the Harvard Observatory are clearly delineated near Fresh Pond.
