About this map

The Merrimack River serves as the industrial and geographical anchor of this mid-1940s landscape, winding past the dense urban core of Lowell and its surrounding neighborhoods like Pawtucketville, Centralville, and Belvidere. The infrastructure of a textile-heavy economy is evident at the Lowell Textile Institute and the Filter Plant, while the Pawtucket Dam controls the river's flow near the city center. This period captures the city’s established educational and healthcare systems, featuring the State Teachers College and the Lowell General Hospital.
