2018 Map of Bloomfield North

About this map

Drakesville and Belknap anchor the rural landscape north of the county seat in Davis County, where the southern Iowa terrain is defined by the meandering courses of the Fox River and Chequest Cr. The area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds, providing a significant map for genealogical research. Locations like the Odd Fellows Cem near the northern edge of Bloomfield and the Breeding Cem to the west reflect generations of settlement along the section lines. The topography transitions from the alluvial bottomlands of Soap Creek in the north to the more structured grid of gravel roads and trails that connect remote farmsteads. Significant water features like Lake Fisher suggest the development of local water resources and recreation, while the intricate network of named roads like Kiwi Blvd and Mink Blvd illustrates the modern organization of this agricultural heartland.
