About this map

The State Capitol and the historic seat of government dominate the urban grid of Springfield in this mid-century survey. The landscape reflects a dense intersection of civic life and industrial infrastructure, with five major rail lines including the Illinois Terminal and Gulf Mobile and Ohio converging on the city. To the north, the Oak Ridge Cem contains the Lincoln Tomb, while the Fair Grounds and Capital Airport mark the city's northward expansion.
