1938 Map of Springfield South

USGS Topo · Published 1938

About this map

The Connecticut River dominates the western half of this industrial-era landscape, its waters bridged by the North End Bridge, Memorial Bridge, and South End Bridge. This 1930s survey reveals a densely developed Springfield characterized by critical infrastructure like the US Armory and the sprawling rail yards near Union Sta. The industrial footprint of the Boston and Albany RR and the New York New Haven and Hartford RR highlights the city's role as a primary New England transit hub. To the south and east, the map captures the residential and recreational expansion into Longmeadow and East Longmeadow, featuring the Franconia Golf Course and Springfield College. The presence of institutions such as Springfield Hospital and Mercy Hospital indicates a mature urban center during the interwar period.
