About this map

Somerset and the surrounding river valleys of St. Croix County define this landscape in the late 2010s. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Apple River as it passes through the community of Somerset, while the southern reaches are marked by the Willow River as it flows toward North Hudson. This area is characterized by a significant amount of protected land, including the Lower Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway and multiple units of the Saint Croix County Waterfowl Production Area.

Genealogists and local researchers will find the Pioneer Cem west of Bright Lake, along with established settlements like Burkhardt. The topography is punctuated by features such as Mt Hellen and Big Mound, while the region's aviation history is represented by Irlbeck Airport and Beer Airport. The hydrology of the area is complex, featuring a series of glacial lakes including Bass Lake, Perch Lake, and Little Falls Lake.
