2011 Map of Bloom

About this map

Bloom and Johnson anchor this rural landscape east of Jamestown, where the section-line grid of roads like 90th Ave SE and 34th St SE organizes the open terrain. This 2011 survey illustrates a transition in land use, where agricultural fields meet scattered prairie potholes and larger water bodies like Nine Lake. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the James River meanders through the flats, providing a distinct contrast to the rigid geometry of the surrounding township roads. For local historians and genealogists, the placement of Spiritwood Cemetery in the eastern section offers a primary reference point for family research in Stutsman County, while the small settlements of Bloom and Johnson represent the rail-influenced development patterns typical of the region.
