1963 Map of Springfield

About this map

Springfield serves as the focal point of this coastal plain landscape, situated where the Natalbany River winds toward its confluence with the Tickfaw River. The map reflects a transition in the late twentieth century as Interstate 12 cuts a modern path across the northern half of the parish, contrasting with the older river-oriented settlements like Warsaw Landing and Wadesboro. These riverine communities speak to an era of transport defined by water and rail, even as new landmarks such as Pumpkin Center and various gravel pits appear.
