1946 Map of Springfield North

About this map

Holyoke and Chicopee dominate the industrial landscape along the banks of the Connecticut River in this mid-century revision. The map documents a significant era of infrastructure, notably the expansive footprint of Westover Field and the surrounding residential developments of Fairview, Aldenville, and Smith Highlands. The rail corridor of the Boston and Maine RR and the Boston and Albany lines define the transport network connecting the mills and neighborhoods.
