2012 Map of Bloomfield

About this map

Foster Cr meanders across this rural landscape in Spink County, defining the drainage patterns of a region dominated by a strict section-line road grid. The presence of the Hillside Colony in the northeastern portion of the map highlights the localized communal settlement patterns found in this part of South Dakota. Smaller historic centers such as LaDelle and Bloomfield are located along these grid lines, serving as focal points for the surrounding agricultural community. For those tracing family history or local land use, the Roe Cem is a significant genealogical landmark, situated near the northern boundary. The map provides a clear view of the transition from early prairie settlement to modern industrial-scale farming, as seen in the vast stretches of open land connected by routes like 408th Ave and 186th St.
