2010 Map of Somerset

About this map

Somerset and the small community of Bexar anchor this South Texas landscape, defined by a transition from traditional rural homesteads to industrial resource extraction. The Somerset Oil Field is a central economic feature, highlighting the region's long-standing connection to petroleum production. This industrial presence is woven into a landscape of family-named roads and markers of early settlement, such as Panteon San Lorenzo Cemetery and Bexar Cemetery. The southern reaches of the quadrangle are shaped by the winding course of the Atascosa River, which provides a natural contrast to the grid-like road network. Roads like Benton City Rd, Somerset Rd, and McConnell Rd connect the scattered residences and ranch lands, reflecting the enduring rural character of this portion of Bexar County despite the surrounding energy development.
