1950 Map of Tyngsboro

About this map

The Merrimack River serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of the Massachusetts-New Hampshire borderlands, where industrial expansion and academic institutions meet the colonial-era geography of Dunstable. The landscape is punctuated by numerous family-named corners such as Swan Corner and Hayward Corner, reflecting a long-standing pattern of dispersed local settlements. In the north, Nashua shows significant development around Rivier College and the Nashua Country Club, while the river's path is closely followed by the Boston and Maine Railroad and the Daniel Webster Highway.
