USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The capital city of Springfield serves as a dense rail hub at the start of the 1940s, situated at the confluence of the Wabash Railroad, Illinois Central RR, and the Baltimore and Ohio RR. The urban center is flanked by established recreation and civic sites, including Washington Park and the State Fair Grounds. To the north, the Sangamon River meanders through a landscape of wetlands like Horseshoe Lake and Halfmoon Lake, providing a sharp contrast to the rigid grid of the city.
