About this map

Bloomfield serves as the focal point of this Stoddard County landscape, situated at a transition between the elevated terrain and the river bottomlands. The town's grid is detailed alongside significant local landmarks like the Bloomfield Cemetery. The surrounding countryside is defined by the winding course of the Upper Castor River, which snakes across the northern and eastern sections of the quadrangle. Smaller water features such as Joe Hendley Lake, Whites Lake, and Tedrick Cr drain the various townships, which are systematically divided by an extensive network of county roads including Co Road 514 and Co Road 270.

Genealogists will find this 2015 survey particularly valuable for its density of burial sites. Named locations for family history research are scattered across the rural landscape, from George Cemetery in the northwest to Walker Cemetery and Link Cemetery near the community of Aquilla. Smaller settlements like Zadock remain marked, showing the persistent footprint of these local communities amidst the agricultural and riparian environment of southeast Missouri.
