1950 Map of Wilmington

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Shawsheen River and the Boston and Maine Railroad define the industrial and social geography of this Middlesex County landscape in the early 1950s. Highlighting the era's specialized institutions, the map prominently features the large State Infirmary complex in Tewksbury and the North Reading State Sanatorium to the east. Several rail junctions, including Lowell Junction and Wilmington Junction, anchor the network that connected these growing residential and industrial centers. Local communities are meticulously detailed, showing the layout of Silver Lake and the residential expansion in Pinehurst. Prominent civic landmarks such as St William Ch, the Shawsheen Sch, and the Wildwood Cem provide essential reference points for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of these Massachusetts towns during the post-war period.
