2010 Map of Springfield

About this map

The city of Springfield is the focal point of this 2010 study, showing a mature urban landscape at the confluence of the Mad River and Buck Creek. The map documents a dense network of residential subdivisions and suburban developments that surround the city center, including Ridgewood, Eastview Heights, and Sherwood Park. For local history and genealogy, the map is remarkably detailed in its recording of burial grounds, ranging from the central Ferncliff Cemetery and Old Columbia Street Cemetery to the peripheral Emery Chapel Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery. Educational and scientific institutions like Wittenberg University and the Weaver Observatory are clearly marked, while the industrial and agricultural origins of the area are reflected in labels like Snyders Mill. The western edges of the sheet show the transition to more open land, with landmarks like Logans Chance Airport and the Snyder Park Golf Course punctuating the river valley.
