2013 Map of Bloomville

About this map

Bloomville and Republic anchor this portion of Seneca County, connected by the diagonal corridor of State Route 67 as it cuts across the township lines. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of several prominent waterways, including Honey Creek, Silver Creek, and Rock Creek, which drain the agricultural plains of north-central Ohio. The density of community burial grounds, such as Farewell Retreat Cemetery and Scipio Township Cemetery, provides a clear map of the early rural settlements and family lineages that established themselves here. Small railway junctions and stopping points like Swander and Rockaway illustrate the historic transit network that supported the local farm economy, while the grid of township roads reveals the organized expansion of the region during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
