1977 Map of Somerset

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Taunton River serves as the eastern boundary for the town of Somerset in this 1977 orthophotograph, which uses aerial imagery to document the suburban and rural landscapes of Bristol County. This aerial perspective reveals the dense residential patterns of the town center contrasted with the winding waterways that define the region's geography. To the north, the confluence of the Threemile River and the larger estuary provides a clear view of the historical industrial footprint near North Dighton. Moving inland, the terrain transitions into the more dispersed settlements of Hortonville and Perrys Corner, where the Cole River and Segreganset River carve through the wooded Massachusetts interior. This orthophoto quadrangle is particularly useful for researchers studying 1970s land use and the specific boundaries of late-century development in Rehoboth and Dighton.
