Explore Bloomfield, Iowa, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Bloomfield, Iowa. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Iowa or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Bloomfield.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Bloomfield occupies a gentle expanse of the Iowa plains, where the horizon stretches wide under a sky that shifts from pale azure to the deep, bruised violet of a coming storm. It lies 18.5 miles south of Ottumwa, IA (from Ottumwa, IA: bearing 181°T), and is situated 29.6 miles southwest of Fairfield. The earth here is heavy and dark, worked into long, orderly rows of corn and soybeans that track the sun across the landscape with silent, botanical patience. To the south, the Fox River meanders through the low ground, its banks lined with dense thickets of willow and oak that hold the soil against the seasonal rains. A short distance away, the McGowen Recreation & Wildlife Area provides a quiet sanctuary of prairie grass and timber, where the air tastes of damp earth and crushed clover, offering a respite from the steady, mechanical hum of the nearby agricultural equipment.
Bloomfield remains a place defined by its enduring commitment to the land, where the architecture of the town square echoes the steady, industrious spirit of its settlers. The economy relies heavily on the productivity of the surrounding fields, though the presence of an active Mennonite community adds a distinct, industrious texture to the local commerce, marked by the rhythmic clip-clop of horse-drawn buggies against the pavement. Residents often seek the stillness of Lake Wapello to the west, finding in its quiet waters a mirror for the contemplative, unshowy life that characterizes the region. As the sun dips behind the silos, casting long, amber shadows across the main thoroughfare, the quietude that settles over the streets reveals a civility born of shared labor and a profound, quiet connection to the geography of the Midwest.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
