A Complete Map To Springfield

Guide to Springfield, USA. On the site you'll find a complete map and guide to all springfield location. The map was put together mostly by watching (and rewatching) Simpson's episodes. The map is even listed in Harvard Map Collection!"
I am not sure about the show order, but that must have been before they moved the town to escape the garbage.
The grass is only greener, if you don't take care of your own lawn.
the map's home page say's "
"While the placement of most locations is arbitrary, many are placed according to where they appear in relationship to each other in specific episodes of The Simpsons. In some cases 'one-time references' to specific locations have been disregarded in favor of others more often repeated. Due to the many inconsistencies among episodes, the map will never be completely accurate."
I think they've done a great job considering it IS an imaginary place.

...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.).

Springfield is suposed to be Portland Oregon.

While there is a Springfield Oregon, down the road a 100 miles by Eugene, Simpson's Springfield is Portland, Shelbyville could be Gresham or Vancouver.
From the website: Due to the many inconsistencies among episodes, the map will never be completely accurate.

It looks like the place is slashdotted. Here's a mirror? copy I found on Google's image search.
Ant(Dude) @ Quality Foraged Links (AQFL.net) & The Ant Farm (antfarm.ma.cx / antfarm.home.dhs.org).
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.
if the answer isn't violence, neither is your silence / freedom of expression doesn't make it alright
Or, for those with more money than time:
Kinko's will gladly print it for IIRC $10.00 per sqaure foot. You can get it mounted on foam board and laminated for an extra few $$ as well. 24 hour turnaround at the most.
RTFA of course
The Simpson House is located in Pressboard Estates, a development of 3 and 4 bedroom, working class houses adjacent to Springfield's central business district. The house number is sometimes given as 59, 94, 723, or 1094, but in most often seen as 742 Evergreen Terrace. The Simpsons have lived at this address since 1983.
