1886 Map of Springfield
USGS Topo · Published 1886About this map
The Manhan River and the Chicopee River converge toward the Connecticut River valley, anchoring a landscape of intense industrial and rail development in the late nineteenth century. Dense street grids and manufacturing hubs appear at Chicopee Falls and South Hadley Falls, while smaller working-class enclaves like Ireland Parish, Merrick, and Mittineague trace the riverfronts. The map captures the complex rail network of the era, including the Boston & Albany R. R. and the New York New Haven & Hartford R. R., which facilitated the growth of textile and paper mills throughout the region.
