About this map

Bloomfield serves as the focal point of this northern Davis County landscape, where the northern edge of the town meets the recreation area of Lake Fisher Park. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Fox River and several substantial tributaries including Soap Creek and Chequest Creek. These waterways dictate the local geography, with rural cemeteries such as Kingdom Cem and Breeding Cem positioned on the higher ground between the creek valleys.

Transportation corridors of the Norfolk and Western and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad intersect at the small settlement of Belknap, illustrating the rail-dependent growth patterns of the era. To the west, Drakesville appears as a distinct cluster of activity near the Fox River bottomlands. The presence of numerous family-named burial grounds like Harbour Cem and Lester Cem provides a dense network of landmarks for genealogists researching the rural communities of Drakesville, Perry, and Cleveland townships.
