1988 Map of Townsend

About this map

The Nashua River and Nissitissit River corridors define the landscape of this border region in the late 1980s, where traditional New England villages like Pepperell and Townsend are surrounded by extensive conservation lands. The Boston and Maine RR traces a path through the valley, passing near industrial and civic markers such as the Sewage Disposal plant and Hollis Depot. Local education and community life are anchored by the North Middlesex Regional High Sch and several smaller institutions like the Hawthorne Brook Middle Sch.
