1943 Map of East Springfield

About this map

Cherry Valley serves as a major hub in this wartime survey, situated at the intersection of critical regional roads and the D & H rail line. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent ridges and peaks, including Mount Wellington and Shankley Mountain, which overlook the northern reaches of Otsego Lake and Hyde Bay. Small agrarian hamlets such as East Springfield, Middle Village, and Springfield Four Corners are connected by a network of rural roads, reflecting a mid-century settlement pattern focused on local schools and community cemeteries.
