2013 Map of Bloomfield

About this map

Bloomfield serves as the primary hub in this Nelson County landscape, where the confluence of several branches of Simpson Creek dictates the layout of the town and surrounding farmland. The local geography is defined by a dendritic network of waterways including Simpson Cr, W Fork Simpson Cr, and E Fork Simpson Cr, which drain the undulating terrain toward Taylorsville Lake in the northeast. This 2013 topographic study reveals a rural community deeply rooted in its heritage, evidenced by numerous small family and community burial grounds such as Hunters Cem, Fairfield Cem, and Rogers Cem situated near the outlying settlement of Wakefield. The southern portion of the quadrangle is bisected by the modern transit corridor of Bluegrass Pkwy W, illustrating the intersection of historic settlement patterns with contemporary regional infrastructure.
