2009 Map of Bloomington

About this map

The South Fork Solomon River defines the central geography of this portion of Osborne County, where the settlement of Bloomington sits along the northern banks. The landscape is structured by a precise grid of rural roads, including S 180th Ave and W 80th Dr, which connect the scattered homesteads of the Kansas plains. Local genealogy is anchored by two significant sites: the Bloomington Cemetery and Mount Hope Cemetery, providing vital markers for researchers of early area families. Several tributaries feed the river system, including Medicine Creek to the west and the junction of Kill Creek and East Kill Creek to the south. This 2009 survey captures the persistent agricultural character of the region, showing how the drainage patterns of the Solomon River valley continue to dictate the layout of the land.
