2013 Map of South Bloomingville

About this map

South Bloomingville sits at the junction of Queer Creek and Goose Creek, serving as a central hub for this corner of Hocking County. The landscape is defined by its dramatic hollows and ridges, from Gold Mine Hollow in the north to Red Rock Hollow near the center. Public lands, including parts of the Wayne National Forest, overlay much of the area, punctuated by legacy sites like the Rock House Lookout Tower and Ash Cave Lookout Tower. These fire lookouts and the numerous cemeteries—such as Old Baptist Cem and Wesley Chapel Cem—illustrate a rural geography where early pioneer settlements were often organized around ridge-top churches and small stream valleys. Significant water features like the Hocking Hills Reservoir and Blackjack Lake provide contrast to the deeply dissected terrain of the Chapel Ridge area.
