USGS Topo · Published 1930About this map
Springfield sits at the heart of a dense transit network just before the height of the Great Depression, where numerous railroads like the Wabash Railroad and the Illinois Traction (Electric) converge. The map documents a transition in regional mobility, featuring the Lindbergh Air Mail Field and early designated routes such as State Highway No 24. Beyond the growing city limits, the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sangamon River and its varied backwaters, including Horseshoe Lake and Mud Lake.
