About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the central spine of this landscape, dividing the urbanized neighborhoods of southern Springfield from West Springfield and Agawam. This 2012 survey illustrates the dense residential and institutional character of the region, featuring prominent educational hubs like American International College and Springfield College. The map highlights distinct neighborhood identities, from the historic Old Hill and McKnight and Bay districts to the unique intersection known as The X.

Southward across the state line into Connecticut, the terrain transitions toward the community of North Thompsonville and the expansive Osborn Prison Farm. Extensive water systems are documented throughout, including the winding Longmeadow Brook and the Watershops Pond reservoir system. For those interested in local history and genealogy, the map provides precise locations for numerous community landmarks, including Saint Benedicts Cem, Springfield Cem, and the Agawam-Springfield Seaplane Harbor Base along the riverbank.
