1950 Map of Lowell

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Merrimack River dominates this industrial and academic landscape, curving sharply through the heart of Lowell and its surrounding neighborhoods. At this mid-century point, the river remains the engine of the region, anchored by the Pawtucket Dam and supporting the extensive Bleachery operations and textile-driven infrastructure. The map details a dense urban fabric where institutional life is prominent, featuring the Lowell Textile Institute, State Teachers College, and Keith Academy.
