2010 Map of Somerset

About this map

Somerset serves as the focal point of this Pulaski County landscape, where urban development meets the deep-cut topography of the Cumberland River valley. The map reveals a transition from the dense street grids of the city and its neighboring town of Ferguson to the rugged, knob-filled terrain to the east and south. This area is defined by a series of named peaks such as Thunder Struck Knob, Buzzard Knob, and Lick Skillet Knob, which hem in narrow valleys like Blaze Valley and Cabin Hollow. Along the southern edge, the waters of Lake Cumberland occupy the winding river channel near Cedar Grove, while the local infrastructure is highlighted by Somerset-Pulaski County/JT Wilson Field and the University of Kentucky Community College. Family history is preserved in scattered burial grounds including Dutton Cemetery and Love Cemetery, providing a detailed look at the rural settlements and land use in south-central Kentucky.
