1893 Map of Lowell

USGS Topo · Published 1897

About this map

The Merrimac River carves a dominant path through this late 19th-century industrial and agricultural corridor, anchoring the city of Lowell at the junction of the Stony Brook Railroad and the Boston and Maine R.R. Lowell Br. The urban core, comprising neighborhoods like Pawtucketville and Centralville, is dense with street grids that abruptly give way to the sprawling farmlands of Dracut and Pelham. Evidence of social infrastructure from the era appears in labels like the Poor Farm in Nashua and the defensive positioning of Fort Hill.
