About this map

Bloomfield serves as the primary hub of this Knox County landscape, shown here in the mid-1970s with its grid of residential streets and civic infrastructure clearly defined. The town's social and recreational life is anchored by the eastern Fairground and a southern Golf Course, while the Bloomfield Municipal Airport and its accompanying Beacon sit to the southwest along the winding course of Little Bazile Creek.

A notable boundary line for the Santee Indian Reservation runs through the northern sections, marking a significant transition in land use and jurisdiction. To the east of the town center, the Old RR Gr provides a clear trace of the former rail path that once connected this agricultural community to wider markets. Local history is further preserved at the Bloomfield Cem on the northwestern edge of the settlement.
