They’re all online for free but not very well publicized.

And the Fish Brook you found, although not in Chelmsford, is probably the one the patron saw from the highway. I kind of didn’t want to tell her she must have seen the sign somewhere else, so having this map to point to will help.

There is an old map from 1891 at this link http://www.wardmaps.com/viewasset.php?aid=5949# that shows a Fish Brook coming out of the top of Haggetts Pond. You can zoom in and scroll around the map… it is in the upper right quarter of the map right above the ‘N’ in ANDOVER. Pretty cool map.
