1950 Map of Lowell

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Merrimack River serves as the industrial and geographic anchor of this mid-century portrait, winding through a landscape defined by the heavy infrastructure of Lowell. The map detail captures the city’s dense urban grid, including educational and religious institutions such as the Lowell Textile Institute, State Teachers College, and the St Louis Convent. Transport and power systems are clearly defined, from the Boston and Maine RR corridors to the hydraulic works of the Pawtucket Dam and Pawtucket Falls.
