1982 Map of Springfield

About this map

St Andrew Bay and the winding Intracostal Waterway define the coastal character of this early 1980s orthophotomap. The expansion of Springfield and Callaway is evident through the dense grid of residential streets encroaching upon the wet pine flatwoods and cypress strands. Local civic life is anchored by institutions like Rutherford High School and several community churches including Midway Church and the Howard Carlisle Church. Along the bayous and creeks, the transition from urbanized areas to natural wetlands is sharp, with numerous named water bodies like Callaway Bayou and Laird Bayou framing the landscape. The industrial presence of the Atlanta and St Andrews Bay RR and the Water Treatment Plant reflects the infrastructure supporting this growing Gulf Coast corridor.
