2019 Map of Bloomfield

About this map

The White River and the Eel River converge at Point Commerce, defining a landscape of low-lying floodplains and intricate drainage networks like Sloan Ditch and Dayhoff Ditch. This 2019 survey of the area around Bloomfield illustrates a region where contemporary infrastructure meets deeply rooted historical markers. The Indiana Railroad provides a central corridor through the territory, passing near Elliston and Hashtown while connecting the larger settlements. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Stalcup Cem, Union Bethel Cem, and Castle Hill Cem. Landforms like Fairplay Mound and Rock Riffle suggest a landscape shaped by both ancient geological processes and human presence. To the east, the terrain becomes more varied around Persimmon Ridge, where the waters of Richland Creek and its tributaries, including Skinner Br and Ore Br, carve through the Greene County countryside.
