1950 Map of Wilmington

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Wilmington serves as a central hub in this mid-century survey, situated at the convergence of several major transport routes including the Boston and Maine Railroad. The landscape is defined by the winding path of the Shawsheen River and the presence of the Middlesex Canal (Abandoned), which reflects the transition from early industrial water transport to the rail-dominated era. To the northwest, the extensive grounds of the State Infirmary in Tewksbury dominate the local geography near Round Pond. The map captures the suburban growth of the period, with established neighborhoods like Silver Lake and North Wilmington appearing alongside numerous local schools such as Whitefield Sch and Shawsheen Sch. For genealogists, the survey identifies several key burial grounds, including Wildwood Cem and Tewksbury Cem, providing a detailed record of the community's civic and religious anchors.
