About this map

Wesserunsett Stream anchors the central valley of this Somerset County landscape, flowing southward through the village of Athens. The settlement pattern follows a network of ridges and rural crossroads, including West Athens, Corsons Corner, and Cass Corner. These small hamlets are connected by state routes 150, 151, and 43, which navigate the topographic rise of Chapman Ridge and the prominent West Ridge.

Upland terrain is defined by numerous named peaks such as Porcupine Mtn, Stickney Hill, and Lords Hill, which overlook several secluded water bodies. Notable among these are Ironbound Pond in the northwest and Barker Pond to the southeast. The survey highlights the late-20th-century boundary lines for Brighton Plt, Solon, and Cornville, showing a region largely shaped by its hydrology and traditional ridge-top settlements.
