1966 Map of Bloomfield
USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
Shawnee National Forest covers much of this landscape, where the interplay between state infrastructure and rural community life is clearly visible. The southeast quadrant is dominated by the Illinois State Prison (Vienna Branch), complete with its own State Prison Railroad and nearby Waterworks. The map preserves the locations of numerous family and community landmarks, such as Whiteside Cem and Harrett Cem, which are scattered among the ridges of Taylor Bluff and the drainage of McCorkle Creek. An Old Railroad Grade traces a path through the terrain, marking the evolution of local transport. Settlement patterns around Vienna, Simpson, and Grantsburg show a classic Southern Illinois mix of small-town centers and isolated country institutions like Concord Ch and Grantsburg Sch.
