How to Use This Bloomfield, Nebraska Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Bloomfield, Nebraska. 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 Nebraska 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 asserts itself upon the high, open expanse of the Nebraska plains, where the horizon serves as the primary fact of life and the sky exerts a heavy, blue influence over the land. It lies 41.1 miles north-northwest of Norfolk, NE (from Norfolk, NE: bearing 344°T), and is situated 22.6 miles southwest of Yankton. Little Bazile Creek wanders through the vicinity, its modest channel carving a subtle depression into the prairie that catches the evening light in long, silver ribbons. To the west, the land rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Maidens Leap, while the local terrain yields to the quiet geometry of agricultural fields and the persistent, wind-bent posture of native grasses. The air here carries the dry, clean scent of earth and turning grain, a crisp clarity that renders the details of fence lines and distant silos sharp against the deepening gray of a gathering dusk.

Bloomfield maintains a steady, deliberate pace, rooted in a history of pioneer resilience that echoes the quiet observations of Willa Cather. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons, defined by the labor of cattle country and the steady output of the surrounding grain fields. Residents often look toward the Lewis and Clark Lake State Recreation Area for respite, or find solitude near the stillness of Zart Reservoir, while the deep, unseen contours of Walker Draw define the drainage of the regional basin. Life here is measured by the turning of the seasons and the maintenance of a community that values the weight of its own heritage, standing firm against the vast, shifting currents of the open prairie.

About This Bloomfield Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bloomfield, Nebraska. Coordinates: 42.598891, -97.64562. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Bloomfield includes the ZIP code (68718), telephone area code (402), county seat of Knox County (Center), and school district assignment (Bloomfield Community Schools).

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.
