2016 Map of Springfield

About this map

The South Branch Potomac River carves a deep path through the Hampshire County highlands, defining the landscape around Springfield and the settlement of Three Churches. This 2016 survey documents the enduring rural character of the region, where the river's winding course is spanned by the John Blue Bridge and Millesons Mill Bridge. The area's spiritual and family history is anchored by several long-standing institutions, including the Mount Bethel Primitive Baptist Church Cem and the Branch Mountain United Methodist Church Cem. Along the riverbanks, small communities like Blues Beach and Wapocomo sit near traditional river crossings and landmarks such as Millesons Mill. The topography is marked by prominent ridges including Mill Creek Mtn and S Branch Mtn, which separate narrow valleys where mountain runs like Green Spring Run and Three Churches Run flow toward the main branch.
