This uncommon town plan provides excellent detail of all streets, each named, and many prominent places including rail station and depot, fair grounds, cemeteries, common grounds and a park. Lowell's location along the Merrimack River and its many falls led to the building of mills and early prominence as a manufacturing town. Several mills along the river front are named, as are other important buildings. Locates Belvedere, Middlesex Village, Centerville, Pawtucket Ville and Ayer City. Delineates the tracks of the Boston, Lowell & Nashua; the Lowell, Lawrence & Salem; and the Framingham & Lowell railroads.
