Map of (Simpsons) Springfield Amazing: Jerry Lerma & Terry Hogan have put a lot of time into creating a map of Springfield. "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.

Due to the many inconsistencies among episodes, the map will never be completely accurate." 2:09:39 PM    comment []  trackback []
