2012 Map of Somerset

About this map

The Taunton River and its intricate network of tributaries define the landscape of Bristol County on this 2012 survey. Centered on the town of Somerset, the map reveals a suburban and rural mosaic where old village centers like Hortonville and West Dighton remain distinct from later development. Historic landmarks such as Annawan Rock and Mount Terrydiddle persist alongside a concentration of burial sites including Saint Patricks Cem and the Eddy Cem. The abundance of water features, from the Cole River to the Somerset Reservoir, illustrates the vital role of local hydrology in shaping land use. Along the eastern edge, the waterfront at Pottersville and Pierce Beach shows the community's orientation toward the river, while inland, areas like Manwhague Plain and Bettencourt Farms suggest a transition into more open, agricultural terrain.
