1961 Map of South Bloomingville

About this map

South Bloomingville sits at the confluence of Queer Creek and its southern tributaries, serving as a focal point for this Hocking County landscape in the early 1960s. The area is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, such as Barringer Ridge and Conkles Hollow, where small-scale agriculture and early industry left their mark. An intriguing label for a Gold Mine northwest of the village points to the region's diverse mineral history, while numerous gas wells scattered across the terrain indicate the mid-century energy economy.
