2010 Map of Somerset

About this map

Somerset anchors this portion of the Laurel Highlands, positioned at a vital junction of local and regional transit. By the early 21st century, the landscape reveals a complex network of small settlements and mining-related infrastructure, such as the Oneida Mining Company Dam and the Coxes Creek Dam. The presence of several family and community burial grounds, including Saint Josephs Cemetery and the Husband Cemetery, provides a wealth of information for genealogists tracking lineages in the Somerset area. To the north and east, the map traces the drainages of Quernahoning Creek and Wells Creek, which define the undulating terrain surrounding villages like Acosta, Quecreek, and Listie. The substantial basin of Lake Somerset serves as a prominent landmark just north of the borough, reflecting the region's managed water resources and recreational spaces.
