2019 Map of New Bloomington

About this map

New Bloomington serves as a central hub in this Marion County landscape, situated just north of the meandering Scioto River. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads such as Marion-Agosta Rd and Larue Prospect Rd W, which connect scattered small settlements like Decliff and Espyville. This 2019 survey reveals a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including the Hoover Crossing Cem, German Reform Cem, and the Cooper Vestal Cem near the southern boundary. The low-lying terrain is shaped by an extensive drainage system of agricultural ditches and creeks, most notably Irey Ditch, Zieg Ditch, and the wetlands of Willow Swamp in the southeast. These features illustrate the transformation of the central Ohio plains into a productive rural landscape through water management.
