1950 Map of Tyngsboro

About this map

The Merrimack River carves a central path through this mid-century landscape, defining the corridor between Nashua and North Chelmsford. The terrain is characterized by a high density of family-named corners and drumlin-like hills, including Gilboa Hill and Potash Hill. These landmarks indicate a deeply rooted social geography, where local identities are tied to intersections like Whidden Corner and Swan Corner. Educational and religious institutions are prominent, with Rivier College, St Marie Convent, and Notre Dame Academy marking the cultural development of the era.
