1893 Map of Lowell

USGS Topo · Published 1925

About this map

Lowell serves as the industrial and geographic anchor of this late 19th-century landscape, situated where the Merrimack River bends sharply to the east. The city's growth is clearly reflected in the dense street grids of Centralville and Pawtucketville, while a complex web of transport infrastructure radiates from the urban center. The Boston and Lowell Railroad and the Stony Brook Railroad intersect with smaller networks like the Nashua Acton and Boston Railroad, illustrating the era's heavy reliance on rail for moving goods and people between the textile mills and outlying towns.
