2011 Map of Bloomington

About this map

The Republican River valley defines this section of Franklin County, where irrigation and water management are central to the landscape's character. Significant water infrastructure is visible through the Franklin Canal and Naponee Canal, which parallel the river's course to support local agriculture. The village of Bloomington serves as the primary settlement, featuring the Bloomington Post Office and a grid of streets centered on Central Ave. Numerous private dams and reservoirs, such as James Reservoir, Rasmussen Reservoir, and Kahrs Reservoir, are scattered across the terrain, indicating a highly managed hydrological environment. Beyond the valley, the topography is carved by a network of drainages including Big Cottonwood Creek, Lochile Creek, and Rebecca Creek, while the Mount Olive Cemetery stands as a quiet marker of the area's local history and lineage.
