2012 Map of Bloomfield

About this map

Bloomfield and the surrounding southern Illinois uplands are defined by a network of rural roads and cemeteries that speak to generations of local settlement. The landscape is carved by numerous waterways, including Little Cache Cr and Max Cr, which feed into local landmarks like Vienna City Lake. Family names are deeply etched into the geography, visible in features such as McCorkle Cem, Ledbetter Cem, and Whiteside Cem. Small crossroads communities like Pond, Wartrace, and Simpson anchor the eastern and southern reaches of the map, while the River to River Trl provides a modern connection across this historically rich terrain. Infrastructure for both water management and local travel is evident, from the Little Cache Number 1 Reservoir to the private Covey Airport, illustrating how the community has adapted to the natural drainages of Johnson Cr and Mill Cr.
