1938 Map of West Springfield

USGS Topo · Published 1938

About this map

Proven Mountain bisects the landscape of this 1930s survey, creating a physical divide between the industrial and agricultural corridors of the Westfield River valley. The map documents a significant concentration of public and institutional land use, including the Westfield State Sanatorium and the Hampden County Training Sch, alongside established neighborhoods like North Agawam and Feeding Hills. The infrastructure of the era is remarkably detailed, showing the Boston and Albany RR and New York New Haven and Hartford RR lines feeding into the manufacturing and residential hubs. Local life is anchored by family-named landmarks and rural points of interest such as Hosmer Corner, Ashley Sch, and the Paucatuck Cem, offering a window into the pre-war development of Hampden County as it transitioned from a collection of mill villages and farms into a more interconnected suburban network.
