1967 Map of Somerset

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Taunton River and Three Mile River define the eastern edges of this landscape, where the tidal influence at Broad Cove meets the suburban expansion of Somerset and Pottersville. The terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands such as Squannakonk Swamp and Maple Swamp, interspersed with high points like Great Meadow Hill. The 1970s updates, shown in purple, reveal significant development and infrastructure growth around Chestnut Tree Corner and near the Somerset Reservoir. Local history is preserved in small family and community burial grounds, including the Hathaway Cem and Coldbrook Cem, which dot the rural roads between the established villages of Rehoboth and Hortonville. This geography illustrates a transition from low-lying marshlands and swamps to the industrial and residential corridors of the late twentieth century.
