1960 Map of Bloomville

About this map

Bloomville and the surrounding townships of Eden and Bloom anchor this agricultural region of Seneca County during the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Honey Creek, which flows past the settlement of Melmore and is joined by several tributaries including Silver Creek and Aichholz Ditch. The presence of the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central rail lines highlights the area's historical reliance on rail transportation to connect local farms and industry, such as the Quarry near the village edge, to larger markets.
