 | | The Littleton depot on the Fitchburg Railroad, somewhat west of the centre of the town, is 32 miles from Boston. |
 | | From this, since first settlement, a rumbling noise is sometimes heard, which is locally called "the shooting of Nashoba Hill." The principal stream is Beaver Brook, which, rising in Boxborough, runs northeasterly through the centre of Littleton, and empties into Forge Pond at the corners of this town, Westford and Ayer. |
 | | The post-offices are Littleton (centre) and the Common; the other villages not already mentioned being North Littleton, on the Stony Brook Railroad, and East Littleton, on the Nashua and Acton Railroad. |
