1950 Map of Tyngsboro

About this map

The Merrimack River snakes through the center of this mid-century landscape, anchoring a region defined by established river-valley industry and expanding educational institutions. In Nashua, the campus of Rivier College and St Marie Convent overlook the valley, while the Boston and Maine railroad tracks parallel the water, serving the industrial hubs at North Chelmsford and beyond. The map highlights numerous family-named corners and hills, such as Hayward Corner and Scribner Hill, which reflect the area's deep-rooted colonial genealogy. In Dunstable, the presence of the Old Dunstable Cem and Central Cem provides critical points for genealogical research. To the west, the rugged terrain around Flat Rock Quarry and Fox Ledge contrasts with the recreational development near Mascopic Lake and the Vesper Country Club on Tyngs Island.
