1944 Map of Springfield South

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the central artery for this industrial and residential corridor during the mid-1940s, separating Springfield and Longmeadow from West Springfield and Agawam. The urban core of Springfield is dense with infrastructure, including the Union Sta, the U S Armory, and major medical facilities like Springfield Hospital. Southward across the state line into Enfield, Connecticut, the landscape shifts toward institutional and agricultural use at the Osborn Prison Farm and the village of Thompsonville.
