1952 Map of South Groveland

About this map

Lake Cochichewick dominates the landscape of this 1952 revision, serving as a central landmark between the developing corridors of North Andover and the wooded hills of West Boxford. The area exhibits a classic New England transition from industrial riverfront to academic and agricultural interiors. Along the Merrimack River at Ward Hill, the Boston and Maine RR supports the region's commerce, while further south, the campus of Merrimack College and the grounds of Brooks Sch represent the expansion of educational institutions into the countryside. Numerous glacial ponds, including Chadwick Pond and Stiles Pond, are interspersed among family-named heights like Barker Hill and Osgood Hill. The inclusion of the Lawrence Municipal Airport near the northern boundary highlights the modernization of infrastructure alongside established centers like South Groveland.
