1905 Map of Manchester

About this map

The industrial and transit hub of Manchester dominates this early twentieth-century survey, showing the city's dense gridiron layout alongside the Merrimack River. To the east, the irregular shoreline of Massabesic Lake provides a natural contrast, dotted with named points like Deer Neck and several islands including Browns Island. The landscape between the urban centers of Manchester and Nashua is a network of smaller agricultural and residential clusters, such as Londonderry, Windham, and Chester.
