About this map

The Merrimack River bisects this mid-century landscape, anchoring the industrial and educational core of Lowell and its surrounding neighborhoods like Centralville and Pawtucketville. The map illustrates a city deeply invested in its institutions, featuring the Lowell Textile Institute, State Teachers College, and Keith Academy, alongside significant medical and social landmarks such as Lowell General Hospital and St Peters Orphanage. To the north, the terrain shifts into the wooded hills of Pelham, New Hampshire, and Dracut, where family-named cemeteries like Gibson Cem and Atwood Cem dot the countryside.
