About this map

Bloomfield serves as the central hub of this Nelson County landscape, where the confluence of several branches and forks defines the local geography. The settlement is positioned at the junction of Chaplin Rd and Taylorsville Rd, surrounded by a dense network of watercourses including Hinkle Creek and the winding East Fork Simpson Creek. Further north, the smaller community of Wakefield sits along the road to Ashes Creek, illustrating the dispersed residential pattern of this agricultural region.

Historical researchers and genealogists can identify several key landmarks, such as Fairfield Cemetery near Highgrove Rd and the Wilkinson Cemetery tucked away to the southwest. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the modern infrastructure of the Bluegrass Pkwy, which cuts across the drainage basins of Camp Charity Creek and West Fork Simpson Creek. The map documents numerous family-named routes, such as Cecil Noel Rd and Ochs Ln, providing clear links to the area's landownership history.
