About this map

The industrial and educational landscape of Lowell is anchored by the Merrimack River, where the Pawtucket Dam and Pawtucket Falls reflect the city's legacy of water-powered industry. Post-war development is evident across the city, from the dense residential wards of the Highlands and Belvidere to institutional landmarks like the Lowell Textile Institute and the State Teachers College. The Boston and Maine Railroad serves as a primary transit spine, connecting the city to surrounding townships.
