1972 Map of Bloomfield

About this map

Bloomfield serves as the primary hub of activity in this 1970s survey, situated along the rolling terrain of the Spencer Co Nelson Co boundary. The landscape is deeply etched by a network of waterways, including Simpson Run, Ashes Creek, and the Salt R in the northeast corner. This period reflects a transition in regional travel, with the modern Blue Grass Parkway cutting across the southern portion of the map while older settlements like Wakefield maintain their traditional character. Local history is well-preserved through numerous landmarks such as Maple Grove Cem, Ashes Creek Ch, and the Brown Jr High Sch. For those tracing family roots, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, including the Wilkinson Cem and Fairfield Cem, alongside small rural institutions like Big Springs Ch.
