About this map

The industrial heart of the Merrimack Valley is anchored by Lowell, where a dense network of streets and canals meets the Merrimac River. In the late nineteenth century, the city is surrounded by outlying villages such as Pawtucketville and Centralville, while the Canal system facilitates the power needed for its manufacturing rise. To the west and south, the landscape transitions into a mosaic of rail-connected towns and mill hamlets, including Graniteville and Forge Village, which are tied together by the Stony Brook Railroad.
