About this map

Springfield's urban and educational landscape is meticulously documented on this mid-decade survey, highlighting its concentration of higher education and historic burial grounds. The map shows the campuses of Missouri State Univ, Drury Univ, and Evangel Univ, alongside specialized institutions like Cox Coll and the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology. This academic core is bordered by a network of local cemeteries including Hazelwood Cemetery and Maple Park Cemetery, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists and local historians.

Transport and natural drainage patterns define the surrounding outskirts. The Frisco Highline Trl occupies a former rail corridor, while numerous small waterways such as Jordan Cr, Fassnight Cr, and South Cr weave through the city's residential and commercial districts. To the southwest, the community of Battlefield and the Nichols area represent the continued expansion of the region beyond the central city grid.
