About this map

The Connecticut River and its major tributaries, including the Westfield River and Mill River, define the urban and suburban landscape south of Springfield. This contemporary survey illustrates a densely settled corridor spanning from Brightwood and Liberty Heights down through the neighborhoods of Old Hill, The X, and Forest Park. The presence of several established higher education institutions like American International College and Springfield Technical Community College reflects the region's enduring role as a center for education and government, anchored by the Hampden County Court House.

Transitioning into the residential and conservation areas of Longmeadow and Agawam, the map highlights significant protected spaces like the Silvio O Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, from the Old-North Burying Ground to the Massachusetts Veterans Memorial Cem. To the east, the terrain rises toward Metacomet Ridge, overlooking industrial and residential growth in Thompsonville and Hazardville across the state line.
