About this map

Somerset occupies a narrow shelf along the North Fork Gunnison River in this modern survey of eastern Colorado. The settlement serves as a focal point for the surrounding mountainous terrain, which is dominated by the Gunnison National Forest. Essential water management infrastructure is evident through features like the Fire Mountain Canal and various upland reservoirs, including Hall Reservoir and Minnesota Reservoir.

The landscape is characterized by prominent flat-topped formations and deep drainages, such as Buck Mesa, Thousand Acre Flats, and the steep-walled Box Canyon. Local transit and access are defined by Old Hwy 133 and a network of Forest Service roads. For those researching family history in this corner of Gunnison County, the Somerset Cem provides a specific point of interest near the riverbank, while landmarks like Fire Mtn and Raven Mesa help orient the high-altitude topography.
