A Complete Map To Springfield

I love this place! "Donner's Party Supplies" We had one here, but the owner ate all the profits!
There was a cdrom years ago called "virtual springfield" in which you could wander the streets and see the sites.
Simpson's Hit'n'Run has a pretty realistic layout of the town as well, from Squidport to Moes, in fact this map looks like it was lifted more from that game than from 'watching episodes'.

I love the Simpsons (of course), but the whole Simpsons marketing industry makes Krusty the Clown look sensible. You can buy dozens of 'guides' to the Simpsons, every kind of toy, about a million computer games, and now a map of the damn town. There are hundreds of episodes of the Simpsons. Isn't that enough?

That's just begging for a comment...
then i doubt the entire town is going to be layed out the same in every episode.
Yes, they live in Pressboard Estates.
Isn't the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant parking lot next door neighbours to The Simpson House?
What state is it in?

Terry and Jerry seem to have a lot of time on their hands.
It's quite an embarassment, especially as they're a northern state.
:)
The detail of that map is just frightening. I wouldn't be surprised if the shows animators use it as a reference now. Then again, maybe they have their own map, in which case, the dudes that reverse engineered it really wasted their friggin time.
Wait, I thought west springfield was 3 times the size of texas?

It's more detailed than my fucking street directory.
I can't beleieve the detail of this map. Anyone try correlating this to a real city?

'Don't worry' said the trees when they saw the axe coming, 'The handle is one of us.'
This is definitely cool, but I thought that one of the running jokes of the series was that the town always seems to suddenly have new major geological features that don't fit with ones they've shown before. It seems like making a map of the place kinda misses the point.
But, then again, someone must have made a map of it for The Simpsons Hit & Run, right? Speaking of which, does this map match the one used in that game? Hmm...
Do not read this sig.

If you're going to waste that much time doing something that geeky, prepare to have all the flaws pointed out.
- The map shows "To Ogdenville, North Haverbrook and Brockway" arrows. You have to fly to all of those cities, if you remember the monorail episode.
- I cant find a "to Capitol City", furthermore there is a 4rth st and D in this Springfield - 4rth St and D is in Capitol City, not Springfield.
- I can't find the Nuclear Power Plant. How the hell do you overlook that? It should be within sight of Burns' mansion.
- "Ye Olde Anchor Shoppe" should be on the wharf, not downtown.
- Android's Dungeon should be near the Java Server
- Moes is next to King Toots Music Shop

While this is fun, if they did watch all the episodes multiple times they had to have noticed that something as common as the simpon's home address has had 6 different values, although they have mostly been on Evergreen Terrace.

...actually admitted that they gave up on the idea of a map years ago - it's on one of the DVD commentarys, when they talk about how at the start of the show they used to be really picky about the layout of the house and Springfield, but realised if they just gave up on that idea they could have some much funnier jokes (I believe Homer's house is at one point right next to the Nuclear Power Plant carpack, at another its just next to Moes etc. etc.).

THere is a console game from EA (xbox, ps2) that lets you drive the entire Springfield. The game goals is identical to Crazy Taxi. Gameplay is so-so, The value of the game is in the creative details around town that a fan of the show can appreciate.

I don't see the Flanders house in Pressboard Estates anywhere. Given the prominence of the character that seems like a pretty major omission. What gives?
Of some of the old classic threads in alt.tv.simpsons, like "Where is Springfield?" and "What's the layout of the Simpson house?"
In those two cases, it turns out that when you take in all the data from all shows, Springfield can literally be nowhere in the US, and the Simpson's house defies the laws of physics. This map is cool and all, but I suspect that a true map of Springfield is impossible to draw. Heck, off the top of my head I can mention the "Meteorite coming to crush Springfield) episode, where it's mentioned that Springfield has only one bridge going out of town.
Where do they build those sets with the looooooong repeating streets that have the same 3 houses or stores? They're often used in the background of the driving sequences.
I was also wondering... when those looooong streets are tree-lined, how do they get those trees to grow and branch and leaf out in the exact same pattern? Does the TV industry utilize bio-genetic tree engineering of some sort? I thought they might use CGI trees, but I doubt that would be possible on most TV budgets. (Unless they farmed out the rendering?)
This one gang kept wanting me to join cause I'm pretty good with a bo staff.
I've always wondered if the choice of names wasn't somewhat coincidental.... Especially considering that one of the creators of the Simpsons is a Northern Illinois University grad.
The society for a thought-free internet welcomes you.
Is this map before or after the entire town was moved (after Homer's untimely stint as town Sanitation Manager)?
Proverbs 21:19
There's one episode where it takes Homer forever to get to work (for some reason I'm thinking it might be the stonemason episode) and he pulls up in the parking lot and waves to Bart who's in the garden of their house. In that episode the nuclear power plant's parking lot backed onto the Simpsons' garden, whereas this map doesn't reflect that ;-)
Yes, yes, I know.. The Simpsons is not accurate, which kinda makes a map pointless.
...is north of the bridge.
Hmm, that doesn't look much like 742 Evergreen in Springfield MO. I call shenanigans on this cartoon!
The episode where Homer and Marge end up streaking through town and naked at the football game. During the chase through town, there's a bit on a hot air balloon.
"Now, let us thank the Lord for this magnificent crystal cathedral, which allows us to look out upon His wonderous creation."
(Homer's hits the window and his ass starts squealing against the glass)
"Now quickly! Gaze down at God's fabulous parquet floor."

"Eyes on the floor... still on the floor... always on God's floor."

But with anything Springfield, there are too many insconsistencies to make a definitive map. For example, in one episode Homer walks home from Moes and is exhausted, then the "Camera" pulls back and we see that Moes is just a few doors down from his house. So, Moes should be on Evergreen Terrace, but on the map it isn't. Same for the long-running joke over which State Springfield is located in (if you took all the facts from eposide together, the result is an impossiblity). Still, it looks like they did a great job with what they had to work with!
Crackton? It's in the wrong place. Remember when Lisa takes the bus to the museum, but gets on the wrong bus? It takes her through Crackton, and she ends up at Area 51A. If you look on the map, these to places don't even connect.

I like to maintain that they're from Kentucky, because that's what the Behind the Laughter episode states.
Attached to that document is a multi-page treatise on how that episode was a big joke anyway, and just because the actors who portray The Simpsons are from Kentucky doesn't mean that the show is set in Kentucky.
I, however, stand by my convictions, much like how it's obvious that The Common Man is the Man For All Seasons in the play of the same name.

in fact this map looks like it was lifted more from that game than from 'watching episodes'.
Nice theory, but unfortunately this map has very little in common with the game. None of the major sections of town are in the right spacial relationships to each other.

The Maison Derriere is just east of the south end of the river.
Alternatively, go one block west of the Simpson house and then straight south.

Springfield, as proven in the Best Episode Ever, 3F24, the Chili Cookoff Episode (and no, I didn't know the number offhand, I had to look it up), slopes down westward, toward the lighthouse.
In this map, the lighthouse is at the south end of town.
if the answer isn't violence, neither is your silence / freedom of expression doesn't make it alright
It's specifically mentioned in one of the more recent episodes.
I may be blind, but I think they left out the infamous Tire Fire. It was put out in one episode, but restarted in others. I think it should be somewhere east of downtown. When Artie's Eye in the Sky does his traffic reports, its clearly visble from Downtown and near the Highway. Seems like a very obvious thing to miss.

Where's Crackton?
I see they remembered Shøp (the chain of Danish super stores). That one got lots of laughs, at least when you're from Denmark as I am.
But besides from that, it seems that a lot of those places are just a wild guess, and it have to be. I mean, even the creators have often forgotten to place the music shop close to Moe's.
And then there are the relocations that are done just for fun. like placing the power plants parking next to the Simpsons house.
Lard Lad is supposed to be close to the monorail tracks so Homer can spear it with his "anchor"! Oh, the ignominy!

I find Morningwood Penitentiary funnier. Sadly, it took me a few viewings of that episode to catch that joke.
In 'Office Space' the protagonist lived in 'Morningwood Apartments'. I wondered if that sign had been built just for the movie or it was actually the name of the complex (possibly a joke by some suburban planner).
You are also aware that Apu went to Springfield Heights Institute of Technology, right?
I want to drag this out as long as possible. Bring me my protractor.
Doesn't anyone remember the episode Behind the Laughs where they parody the VH1 Behind the Music format? In that episode, the narrator describes the Simpsons as "this Northern Kentucky family..."
People should know that the real Springfield is in Oregon, the kind of run-down suburb of Eugene. I call it a suburb, even though it's really just anothe town.
The name of Eugene is the same as the Bart's principal, whose last name is Skinner, just like a certain Butte in Eugene, Oregon. Groening did go to the University of Oregon in Eugene after all. There's also a statute on the university campus that's really all too similar to that of the pioneer Springfield in the cartoon.
There are a lot of other similarities as well, but I don't have time to go into them.

I always thought there was only one bridge out off Springfield.
was I wrong? or when did they build the other two, and rebuild the first one?
errera hunamum ets
I hate to say this because it will show just how much I watch simpsons, but then again I'm probably in similar company here. This map has quite a few problems. I'll enumerate just a few of them.
In the Stonecutters episode the nuclear plant is located directly behind the Simpsons home. You'll remember that Bart sees Homer get out of his car right on the other side of the fence. Also, in the same episode Homer is seen traveling on a freeway to get to work. There's no freeway between Evergreen Terrace and the Nuke plant on the map.
In the episode where Lisa gets lost riding the bus to the museum, she passes through the Russian district. This is also very close to a draw bridge. There's no Russian district and no bridge. There's no Crackton either for that matter, or Area 51a.
I could go on for a while, but I think I shan't. It just comes down to the fact that the movie is quite inconsistent with itself. The movie is especially inconsistent with the opening sequence when you see a complete shot of the city. So I have to agree with what others have opined in that this was lifted mainly from Hit'n'Run. Then they just started plugging in the names of locations from the movies. Nevertheless, great job on the map.
In one episode (Stonecutters), Homer drives to work, then the camera pans out and there's a chain link fence between 742 Evergreen Ter. and the nuclear power planet.
Hmm. Wonder if "123 Fake St." is listed.
Assume I was drunk when I posted this.
My daughter goes to Lincoln HS, and there's a teacher there, Mr. Bailey, who's supposedly the model for Mr. Burns' personality. He must be pretty old, since Groening graduated around 30 years ago.
But it appears to me that Burns is also inspired a lot by Howard Hughes (crazy rich old hermit who was a dashing aviator in the early 20th century).
Another thing about Springfield: It's a working-class town, but Eugene, just across the interstate, is a college town (U of O), which I'd guess represents Shelbyville.
Where is Crackton?
Holy s-, it's Jesus!
A map of the town is the last thing any Simpsons fan really wants... What we want is for someone to analyze all the shows, and complile all the clues to where Springfield is located IN THE COUNTRY.
Not Super Cheesy! The Enchanted Forest was the shizzle when I was about 8.
It would be interesting to see if a scale could be calculated to make some data for vector model GIS. Throw all that in there and we could find out just how fast Homer drove to get from his house to the post office to get his taxes in on time.

I can't believe they left out the ENTIRE hammock district.
Hank: "Homer, there's four places. There's the Hammock Hut, (that's on 3rd), there's Hammocks-R-Us, (that's on 3rd too). You got Put-Your-Butt-There. That's on 3rd. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex... it's the hammock complex on third."
Homer: "Oh, the hammock district!!"
Hank: "That's right. "
They are telling the story of the Simpsons. Only thing they aren't telling the story of a single dimenison. They are obviously showing one episode from each dimenison with the Simpsons in Springfield. Everything is therefore logically explained.
If that doesn't work for you, it's that way because God, aka Matt, wanted it that way.

Jeez, if they bother to include Springfield I would think they would have a map of Conan's world. As many Conan readers know, a couple fans constructed a map of the Hyborian world around 1930, based on reading the stories in detail, and sent it to author Robert Howard. Howard, who had drawn up his own map and history of Conan's world prior to writing the stories, commented that the fan map was very close to his own, differing only in minor details. The fan map is printed at the front of some of the books. I have never seen Howards original map and have always wondered if it still exists. There are several good modern Hyborian maps on the web, such as this one.
I mean the Jewish kind. It's where Krusty grew up, remember? Anyone found it?
I can see a few differences from Hit&Run, for one the roads in hit&run were a lot less straight, and the squidport was in front of mr burns casino, not the harbor. Also I think the motherloving sugar company is across the street from kwik-e-mart, but the map has it farther away, but then again the city keeps changing the layout to make the jokes work (for example when homer gets to work late and gets the last parking spot by the plant, before being a member of the stonecutters, that last parking spot is next to his own house).

Where is 123 Fake Street? I couldn't find it on the map, and it's not on the list of locations either. This map is bogus.

This is so phooking phunny, I'm gonna piss out of my WANG if I can't stop!!
I notice that "Simpson's Residence" isn't under the S's.
And, yes, idiots, I know it's probably under some other description. But where would you go first? If you don't understand, you should not be designing software. Yes, this means you.

Now all they have to do is develop a full-fledged GIS version of the map.

Considering they don't even have a geography department. What a fucking joke. They probably have greant money to do it with too. We bitter geography grads at land-grant institutions watch "Social Ecologists" from the Ivy League get Fulbrights and NSF money to study kudzu and wine regions, none of which ever gets published in any interesting journal. I guess they get credit for Jack Dangermond, or is that MIT? No geography dept. there either, methinks. Grrrr.
Comparing it to Windows will be a moot point, since El Dorado is going to have a 40% larger code base than XP.
Hi all,
I have to disagree with the location of the Springfield nuclear power
plant, because from the Stone Cutters episode, it shows that when Homer
parks his car in his designated parking spot that its actually right behind
his house on evergreen terrace. When he finally becomes a member of the
stone cutters, instead of giving him a parking spot closer to the plant
itself they give him a pair of roller blades to skate from his parking
space to the plant. THE IRONY!!
Great episode btw...

Umm, where's the Simpsons' home on the map?
Take me take me take me take me now!
Now now now now now!
I cannot see where Mo's is and...
I thought the Quik-e-mart was supposed to be near the drive-in theatre... He is supposed to be able to watch movies from his rooftop garden.
Haven't found the retirement home yet... but isn't it supposed to be next to the Fireworks and pet store?

I work for jerry in the same office. It's kind of interesting to see a guy next door becoming famous by this. I wonder if he's going to get a letter from the Simpsons. By the way, I saw this map last year, and I knew that it was going to be a hit.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
A place where 2 of the "H" roads (which run north-south, or more like parallel to the M1) intersect at right angles in complete contravention of Euclidean geometry. And with no TV aerials.
