2014 Map of Bloom

About this map

Jamestown occupies the southwestern corner of this prairie landscape, where the eastern edges of the city meet the rural agricultural grid of Stutsman County. The terrain is defined by glacial features, notably the meandering James River and the deeply carved Sevenmile Coulee, which cuts through the southern sections. This area represents a critical corridor for regional infrastructure, as evidenced by the density of section-line roads and the proximity of small settlements like Bloom and Spiritwood. Local history is anchored by markers such as the Spiritwood Cem and industrial sites like the Frey Gravel Pit. To the north and east, the land opens into a pattern of potholes and wetlands, including Nine Lake and Rush Island Lake, reflecting the characteristic drift plain topography of central North Dakota.
