About this map

Bloomfield serves as the focal point of this northern Davis County landscape, where the town’s northern outskirts meet the rural agricultural grid of southern Iowa. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of waterways, including the Fox River, Chequest Creek, and Soap Creek, which carve through the farmland. Local history is deeply embedded in the land through a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Kingdom Cemetery, Breeding Cemetery, and Harbour Cemetery, reflecting the early pioneer settlement patterns of the region.

In the western portion of the map, Drakesville remains a distinct community with its own Drakesville Post Office, while the small settlement of Belknap sits further north. Public and social life is anchored by landmarks like the Davis County Fairgrounds, the Bloomfield Speedway, and Lake Fisher, which provides a significant water feature for the area. The extensive system of lettered and numbered roads, from Mink Blvd to Ice Ave, illustrates the modern connectivity of this enduring agricultural district.
