About This Historic Map

Drawn from an elevated bird's-eye perspective, this map presents Medford in the 1880s, when the area was shaped by its riverfront industry, churches and schools, and residential neighborhoods. The view sweeps across the whole town, following the curve of the Mystic River past clustered brick buildings downtown and outward to the farms and open countryside beyond.

Notable landmarks shown on the map include the Town Hall, the Public Library, the High School, the Congregational Church, the Universalist Church, the Methodist Church, the Baptist Church, the St. Mary's Catholic Church, and the B. & M. R.R. Station, along with many of the historic roads and neighborhoods that shaped life around Medford in the era.

For anyone who grew up in Medford, walked its streets along the Mystic River, or traces their family roots to this old New England town, this map is more than a historic view. It captures the church steeples, the riverfront mills, and the quiet residential lanes, and the memories that keep families connected to Medford.

A statement piece for any room, this reproduction is printed using KNOWOL's restored version of the 1880 Medford map, preserving the historic character of the original while adding depth, warmth, and visual clarity.
