North Reading’s bodies of water—Martins Pond, Swans Pond, and the Ipswich River—can be clearly seen in dark ink. The tracks and roads that criss-crossed the parish are marked with dotted lines. Many of these follow the routes of modern-day thoroughfares (Haverhill Street, Elm Street, North Street, Marblehead Street, and Park Street can all be seen). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665e2770256d94290d315db3/b5cd9bfc-69f7-48a2-b97f-11c001b609e4/USGS_NReading_1888.jpg Read - North Reading History…in Maps - Make it stand out A topographical map showing the land contours, wetlands, and waterways of our town. The hill visible to the southeast of North Reading’s West Village is known as Sanborn’s Hill or Muster Hill, so-called because it played host to militia drills during the Revolutionary War. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665e2770256d94290d315db3/85e1ecda-6eb6-4898-82a0-f23ef2dcc55a/NR-Reading-Wakefield_Map_1889.jpg Read - North Reading History…in Maps - Make it stand out This map shows the three towns that started out as three parishes of Redding (renamed Wakefield in 1868). It reveals how sparsely settled North Reading was compared to its sister towns, both of which sat astride the main rail line to Boston. The rail line through North Reading, in contrast, primarily served as a freight conduit between the Merrimack Valley factory towns and the port of Salem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665e2770256d94290d315db3/f7510e8d-b415-47bf-b0c0-42962370e998/NRVillageMap_1889.jpg Read - North Reading History…in Maps - Make it stand out An inset accompanying the previous 1889 map, this plan of North Reading Center is anchored around the Town Common.

It also reveals the extent of development that took place along the east side of Martins Pond during the 1920s and 30s, when the pond became a popular vacation destination for Bostonians seeking to beat the summer heat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665e2770256d94290d315db3/43959c21-995d-49fc-8a85-3a629b35da6f/1966_NReading_1966.jpg Read - North Reading History…in Maps - Make it stand out This 1966 USGS map shows a lot of features visible in modern-day North Reading: more neighborhoods, schools, shopping centers, high voltage power lines, and the Hillview Country Club. Comparing this to the 1888 map, it is clear how rapidly North Reading developed in the first half of the twentieth century. Like historical maps?
