Alt Text Map of Lowell National Historical Park in Massachusetts. The map is tan with the street grid represented by white lines and trolley lines by notched black lines. Extended Description Most landmarks are on the right side on the map in the triangle formed by the Merrimack, Eastern, Pawtucket, and Hamilton canals. A canalway walking path surrounds the entire area and cuts through from the Merrimack Canal to the Pawtucket Canal near the Visitor Center. There is also a downtown walking route that begins at the Visitor Center and zigzags up to the Eastern Canal. The Visitor Center for the park sits along the Merrimack Canal. It sits just above Market Mills (formerly Lowell Mills) and the site of the Lowell Machine Shop. There is visitor parking near Broadway Street. Above the Visitor Center is the Railroad Exhibit along the canal on Shattuck Street. The Visitor Center Trolley Shop is directly next to it. Across the street between Market Street and Merrimack Street is Old City Hall, the New England Quilt Museum, and the National Streetcar Museum at Lowell. Across Merrimack is St Anne’s Church next to Lucy Larcom Park along the canal. Down Kirk Street from the church is the Agents House, park headquarters, on French Street. Across French Street is the Patrick J. Mogan Cultural Center, which has the One City Many Cultures Exhibit, Into an 1840s Boarding House Exhibit, and Center for Lowell History along the Eastern Canal. To the right of it is the Boarding House Park and the Boott Mills Trolley Stop. Across the canal from the trolley stop is the Boott Cotton Mills Museum. There is also a parking garage near the trolley stop at French Street and John Street. To the right of the parking garage, Eastern Canal Park is where the Eastern Canal turns and becomes the Pawtucket Canal. Below the park is the Jack Kerouac Commemorative at Paige Street. Farther down the canal are the Lower Locks, which separate the upper section of the Pawtucket Canal from the lower section known as the Industrial Canyon. Above the Lower Locks are the Middlesex Community College and the Site of Prescott Mills. Below the Lower Locks are a hotel, the Site of Middlesex Mills, and a parking garage. Along the north side of Industrial Canyon is Old Central Market and a parking garage. On the other side of Pawtucket Canal are Hamilton Mills and Appleton Mills. Appleton Mills is directly next to the Swamp Locks that control the flow of water where the Pawtucket Canal and the Merrimack Canal merge. The American Textile History Museum is directly to the left of the Swamp Locks on the left side of the Merrimack Canal. It sits within the bend of the Western Canal along Dutton. Following the Western Canal north, it passes the Whistler House Museum of Art on Worthen Street and the Holy Trinity Church on Lewis Street. It also passes the Moody Street Feeder underground water tunnel that runs along Moody Street from the Western Canal to the Merrimack Canal. One block up from the Moody Street Feeder is the Tremont Gatehouse and Power House as well as the Suffolk Mill Trolley Stop. This is also where the Northern Canal meets the Western Canal. On the north side of the Northern Canal is the River Transformed Exhibit and the Wannalancit Mills (formerly Suffolk Mills). Two blocks above Wannalancit are the Lawrence Mills along the river. To the left of the mill and nestled in the elbow of the river is LeLacheur Park and the University of Massachusetts Lowell North Campus. In the middle-left area of the map is Pawtucket Falls, the Pawtucket Dam, and the beginning of the Northern Canal. The Pawtucket Gatehouse sits on the Northern Canal. The Pawtucket Canal also begins from this area of the river and flows south. Francis Gate Park sits along the river between Pawtucket Street and Broadway Street. Just before Broadway are the Francis Gate and the Guard Locks. Legend In the lower left corner of the map is a scale that measures 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 kilometers and 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 miles. A legend in the upper right corner of the map reads as follows: Green shape for Lowell National Historical Park exhibit building, Gray shape for Other selected historic building, Blue line with a blue tick mark Canal building, dam, or lock, Red line for Canalway walking path, Red dashed line for Downtown walking route, Black notched line with green dot for Trolley route and stop, and Red dot for Lowell Public Art Collection Site. To the right of the legend is a note that reads, “The Lowell Public Art Collection is composed of artworks that address the themes of the American Industrial Revolution in an urban setting. They celebrate Lowell’s ethnic and industrial traditions.” Below the legend is a scale showing canal levels shown on the map. The Upper River is a light blue and has a 2-foot drop at the Guard Locks. The Upper Canal is the same shade of blue and has a 13-foot drop at the Swamp Locks. The Lower Canal is a lighter shade of blue and has a 17-foot drop at the Lower Locks. The final bar on the scale is the Lower River. It’s the lightest shade of blue and has a 32-foot vertical drop from upper river to lower river.
