LOCUS OF THE ORIGINAL
MIDDLESEX CANAL
Maps & Property Owners
This website contains the 5
map panels for the original locus of the Middlesex Canal that traverse the City
of Woburn. Accompanying these maps are tables listing of all the current day
properties, their owners, and abutters. The first column in this table (Map Panel) refers to one of the 5 map panels
on the map. Within each panel are numbered land parcels (Map Parcel #). This
number is just a sequential number
assigned to each land parcel and shows up as the 2nd column in the table. The
third column (Parcel #) is the actual land parcel number assigned by the City
of Woburn Assessor and corresponds to all City of Woburn records regarding that
property.
PROPERTY OWNERS
These PROPERTY OWNERS lists
contain the Parcels within the 75" Canal Buffer as shown in the NATIONAL
REGISTER MAP BOOK of the route of the Old Middlesex Canal in the nine
communities, namely; Lowell, Chelmsford, Billerica, Wilmington, Woburn,
Winchester, Medford, Somerville and Charlestown.
The PROPERTY OWNERS are
indexed by Community, first by a sequential Map Number, then by the
corresponding Assessor's Plate and Lot Number followed by the Owner name(s) and
mailing address, which will not be the lot address if non-owner occupied.
