1893 Map of Lowell

USGS Topo · Published 1912

About this map

Industrial Lowell serves as the focal point for this late 19th-century landscape, where the Merrimac River and Concord River meet. The geography is defined by a dense network of transit, including the Boston and Maine Railroad and various branch lines that connected the mill city to outlying rural settlements like Chelmsford Center and Forge Village. The terrain is characterized by numerous glacial features, such as Millstone Hill and Nagog Pond, which shaped the early development of Middlesex County.
