1941 Map of Tyngsboro

About this map

The Merrimack River snakes through this 1939 survey of the Massachusetts-New Hampshire borderlands, a landscape defined by its glacial terrain and industrial granite extraction. Heavy quarrying activity is evident at Flat Rock Quarry and Fletcher Quarry, highlighting the region's contribution to the building trades of the era. Settlement is concentrated in Tyngsboro and North Chelmsford, while rural crossroads like Swan Corner and Flints Corner mark the intersections of a developing road network that includes Middlesex Road and Pawtucket Blvd. The presence of Notre Dame Academy and the Marist Sch alongside numerous burial grounds such as Central Cem and Fairview Cem provides a detailed view of the social fabric and community centers established before mid-century suburbanization. Near Tyngs Island, the Vesper Country Club occupies a bend in the river, showing the early 20th-century expansion of recreational land use.
