2018 Map of Lynn

About this map

Lynn occupies a central role in this coastal survey, where the urban grid meets the Atlantic shoreline across a landscape of diverse terrain and historic burial grounds. The area is dense with sites of local heritage, including Pine Grove Cem, Greenlawn Cem, and the Old East Burying Ground. To the south, the narrow peninsula of Nahant extends into the Atlantic Ocean, sheltering Nahant Harbor and Pond Beach. The industrial and transit legacy of the region is evident in features like Raddin Station and the General Edwards Bridge crossing the Pines River Marshes. From the heights of High Rock and Mt Gilead to the residential reaches of Winthrop Highlands and Beachmont, the map documents a mature urban landscape defined by its proximity to Broad Sound and the northern reaches of Boston.
