1960 Map of Springfield

About this map

Sugar Creek winds through the northern half of this Walworth County landscape, marking the transition between the townships of Lafayette and Spring Prairie. The early 1960s agricultural character of the region is evident in the dense network of rural infrastructure, including a localized Fish Hatchery and several religious and educational centers. Notable institutions such as the Pallotti Novitiate and the County Hospital anchor the community, while the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad corridor cuts across the southern portion of the map, serving the settlement of Springfield. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Hickory Grove Cem, Union Cem, and North Geneva Cem, which are scattered among the farmsteads and schools like East Area Sch.
