About this map

The Merrimack River flows through this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a corridor for both industrial legacy and modern infrastructure. The Boston and Maine RR hugs the river's western bank, while the F E Everett Turnpike cuts a straight path south from Nashua. This era shows the expansion of educational and religious institutions, including Rivier College, St Anthonys Friary, and the Academy of Notre Dame.

Away from the river valley, the terrain is marked by numerous family-named corners such as Norris Corner and Swan Corner, reflecting a rural transition toward suburbanization. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the Old Dunstable Cem and Evergreen Cem. The map also captures the extent of local industry through several quarries and the Fletcher Quarry in the southern reaches, alongside recreational spaces like the Nashua Country Club and Green Meadow Golf Club.
