1946 Map of Lowell
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
The Merrimack River serves as the industrial and geographic anchor of this mid-century survey, dividing the dense urban grid of Lowell from the expanding suburban and rural tracts of Dracut and Pelham. In Lowell, the map details a mature social infrastructure including the Lowell Textile Institute, St Peters Orphanage, and several civic landmarks like the State Armory and Lowell General Hospital. The river's power is harnessed at the Pawtucket Dam, feeding the complex network of canals and mills that defined the city’s economy.
