1979 Map of Bloomfield South

About this map

The agricultural landscape of southern Davis County is defined by the winding course of the South Wyaconda River and the rural townships of Cleveland, West Grove, and Wyacondah. In the northern section, the southern edge of Bloomfield borders the Norfolk and Western railway and the Bloomfield Municipal Airport. The map provides significant genealogical value through its density of small burial grounds, including the Wesley Chapel Cem, Pollard Cem, and Dooley Cem, which are scattered across the section lines of this traditional farming region. Water features such as Lake Fisher and the Fabius R break the geometric pattern of the land, while an Old Railroad Grade in the northeast hints at the shifting transportation priorities of the late twentieth century.
