About this map

The town of Bloomfield serves as the focal point for this Davis County survey, which documents the rural landscape immediately south of the community. In this modern era, the southern expansion of the town is marked by the Bloomfield Municipal Airport and the waters of Lake Fisher, while the surrounding terrain remains predominantly agricultural. The area is heavily defined by the meandering courses of the S Wyaconda River and the N Fork N Fabius River, which cut through the township grids of Steuben and neighboring territories.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the dense network of rural burial grounds preserved here, including the Wesley Chapel Cem, Patterson Cem, and Dooley Cem. These landmarks, along with a strictly maintained grid of family-named roads like Jade Ave and Lilac Ave, offer a clear picture of the historical property divisions and settlement patterns that have persisted in southern Iowa for generations.
