1956 Map of Lynn
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The urbanized coastline of Lynn and its surrounding coastal communities are captured here in the mid-1950s, a period of dense residential growth and established maritime industry. The industrial corridor follows the Boston and Maine railroad line, while the coastline transitions from the commercial wharves of Lynn Harbor to the recreation-focused shores of Nahant Bay. Further inland, the expansive Lynn Woods and numerous water bodies like Walden Pond and Breeds Pond provide a stark contrast to the tightly packed neighborhoods of East Lynn and West Lynn.
