The Merrimac River carves a sweeping path through this late 19th-century industrial and agricultural landscape, serving as the central axis for the booming city of Lowell. The city's dense urban grid is flanked by outlying neighborhoods like Pawtucketville and Centralville, while the surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of competing rail lines. The Boston Lowell and Nashua Railroad hugs the riverbanks, while the Stony Brook Railroad and the Nashua Acton and Boston Railroad strike out across the drumlin-dotted terrain of Westford and Chelmsford.
