2013 Map of New Bloomington

About this map

The Scioto River meanders across this landscape in western Marion County, defining the agricultural character of the region. The village of New Bloomington sits at a central crossroads, supported by surrounding hamlets such as DeCliff and Espyville. This survey is notably rich in family and community history, recording a high density of rural burial grounds including Salem Cem, Agosta Cem, and Dickason Cem. The land is meticulously drained by an extensive network of man-made waterways like Trey Ditch, Zieg Ditch, and Dudley Run, which support the productivity of the local acreage. In the northeastern quadrant, the Big Island Wildlife Area Reservoir provides a significant break from the grid of farms and township roads. These features collectively illustrate a classic Midwestern rural layout where the natural river path and a strictly surveyed system of ditches dictate the movement of people and the placement of small, lasting settlements.
