1938 Map of Springfield South

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the dominant geographic spine of this 1933 survey, separating the urban density of Springfield from West Springfield and Agawam. The industrial and civic development of the era is evident in the concentration of major institutions, including the U S Armory near Winchester Square and the campus of Springfield College situated along the shores of Watershops Pond. The southern reaches of the map transition into the residential and agricultural expanses of Longmeadow and East Longmeadow, where the landscape is dotted with family-named landmarks like McCarthy Hill.
