About this map

Springfield and its western suburbs are detailed here just after the turn of the 21st century, showing the dense intersection of state history and modern infrastructure. The landscape is shaped by significant historical sites, including Oak Ridge Cem and the adjacent Camp Lincoln. The state's political and cultural identity is represented by the Illinois State Fairground and the Thomas Rees Memorial Carillon located near the heart of the city.

Tracing the movement of commerce and people, the Illinois Terminal RR and a network of named boulevards like Williams Blvd connect the central district to outlying communities such as Bradfordton, Leland Grove, and Southern View. Natural features like the Sangamon River and Spring Cr provide a consistent backdrop to the expanding urban footprint. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including McKinnie Cem, Calvary Cem, and Crowder Cem.
