2018 Map of Bloom

About this map

Bloom sits at the northern edge of this high plains landscape, situated near the headwaters of Bluff Cr. The town is the primary settlement on the map, centered around the intersection of K C H Rd and Highway 54. Just to the north, the Bloom Cem serves as a vital marker for genealogists and local historians tracing families from this corner of Ford County. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Bluff Cr, which carves a path through the township sections as it flows southward across the Ford Co Clark Co line. A grid of rural roads like Yucca Rd and Zane Rd provides structure to the open agricultural land, illustrating the persistent section-line development typical of western Kansas. The map captures the quiet, expansive nature of the region, where settlement is concentrated along the rail and highway corridor while the rest of the land remains dedicated to the drainage of the creek.
