1969 Map of Lowell

About this map

The Merrimack River dominates this mid-century landscape, carving through industrial and educational centers at the height of their post-war expansion. This survey highlights the dense institutional fabric of Lowell, noting landmarks like the Lowell Technological Institute and State Teachers College, alongside numerous parish schools including St Josephs Sch and St Michaels Sch. To the north, the terrain transitions into the more open spaces of Dracut and Pelham, where family-named features like Varnumtown and Gumpas Cem reveal the area’s deeper genealogical roots.
