About this map

Springfield expands eastward in this late-2010s survey, showing a landscape defined by the intersection of residential growth and the rugged valley of the James River. The map documents a corridor of suburban and commercial development bounded by the BNSF Railway and major thoroughfares like E Chestnut Expy and E Sunshine St. Amidst this modernization, numerous small family and community burial grounds remain, including Westmoreland Cem, Bodenhamer Cem, and Kershner Cem, providing essential markers for genealogical research in Greene County.

Water plays a central role in the geography of the eastern edge of the city, with the Galloway Creek Greenway and Pierson Cr carving through the terrain towards Lake Springfield. Notable infrastructure includes the Downtown Airport and several private landing strips like the Childress Airstrip, while the small community of Turners sits at the junction of rail and road. The map preserves the specific locations of landmarks such as Kinser Bridge and Jones Spring, illustrating how the natural features of the Ozarks continue to shape the layout of modern Missouri settlements.
