2011 Map of Somerset Center

About this map

Somerset Center and the adjacent town of Somerset anchor the eastern landscape of this early twenty-first-century survey. The region is defined by a complex network of glacial kettle lakes and drainages, including the North Branch Kalamazoo River and the large Lake Somerset. A high density of cemeteries, such as the East Liberty Cemetery, Gambleville Cemetery, and Laurel Hill Cemetery, provides significant documentation for local genealogists. Evidence of small-town infrastructure remains visible through the Somerset Center Post Office, Somerset Post Office, and Jerome Post Office. The central portion of the map showcases more recent residential patterns around water bodies like Lake Le Ann and Crystal Lake, while features like the Putney Millpond hint at the historical water-powered industry that once shaped the surrounding countryside. From the high point at Bunday Hill to the southern reach of Mercer Lakes, the map captures the rural residential and agricultural character of the county.
