About this map

Bloomfield serves as the central hub of this eastern Montana landscape, situated at the junction of Fas 254 and Road 532. This 2011 survey reveals a territory deeply defined by its drainage systems, where the winding courses of Thirteenmile Creek, Center Fork Thirteenmile Creek, and North Fork Thirteenmile Creek dictate the layout of the local road network and property divisions. The presence of the Bloomfield Post Office marks the community's enduring role as a local service point for the surrounding agricultural tracts.

Water management is a visible priority in this semi-arid environment, noted by the curiously named Oh No Dam and the Raise Number 1 Dam. These features, along with the section-line roads like County Rd 428 and Road 439, illustrate the intersection of natural hydrology and human engineering in Dawson County. The map provides a clear look at the rural infrastructure supporting this high plains settlement in the early twenty-first century.
