1950 Map of Wilmington

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Boston and Maine Railroad serves as a primary corridor through this portion of Middlesex County, linking industrial and residential centers like Wilmington and North Wilmington. The landscape is a complex mix of riparian zones along the Shawsheen River and Ipswich River, interspersed with institutional landmarks such as the State Infirmary in Tewksbury and the North Reading Sanitarium. Local life in the mid-century is marked by numerous neighborhood schools, including the Whitefield Sch and Richardson Sch, and community hubs like Silver Lake. The mapping of small hills like Peach Orchard Hill and Crosbys Hill highlights the varied topography that defined local land use before the massive suburban expansion of the late 20th century.
