2018 Map of Springfield South

About this map

The Springfield Armory National Historic Site anchors the urban core of this 2018 survey, reflecting the industrial and military heritage of Springfield along the Connecticut River. The map details a densely developed landscape where educational institutions like Springfield College and Western New England Univ are integrated into established neighborhoods such as McKnight and Bay and Sixteen Acres. This modern topography shows the preservation of significant green space and ecological buffers, including the Silvio O Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge and the extensive Forest Park. Crossing into Longmeadow and Agawam Town, the terrain is defined by water systems like Pecousic Brook and the prominent Metacomet Ridge. Significant cemetery sites, such as the Old North Burying Ground and Saint Michaels Cem, provide key anchor points for local history and genealogical research in this long-settled region.
