2021 Map of Somerset

About this map

Hortonville and West Dighton anchor this survey of Bristol County, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Palmer River and Segreganset River. The map reveals a dense network of local cemeteries, such as Hathaway Cem and Dighton Town Cem, which serve as critical markers for genealogical research in these established Massachusetts communities. To the south, the city of Fall River meets the water at The Creek and Pierce Beach, while the interior remains characterized by extensive wetlands like Manwhague Swamp and Poppasquash Swamp. Notable landmarks such as Annawan Rock and Mt Terrydiddle rise above the surrounding plains, providing historical continuity to a region balancing its industrial riverfront roots with its inland agricultural and forested tracts. This 2021 update documents the modern road network, including Winthrop St and Bay State Rd, as they navigate around large water bodies like the Somerset Reservoir.
