1956 Map of Springfield

About this map

Springfield serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey of the Sarpy and Cass County border, where the land slopes toward the wide valley of the Platte River. The map documents a predominantly agrarian landscape punctuated by a network of rural schoolhouses, including Sanborn Sch, Pflug Sch, and Buffalo Sch, which once anchored these local farming communities. Along the southern edge, the industrial and recreational character of the riverfront is evident near Louisville, where several Quarries and the Louisville Recreation Grounds line the banks.
