2022 Map of Somerset South

About this map

Somerset and the surrounding township of Saint Croix County are defined by the convergence of the Apple River and the protected corridor of the Saint Croix Wild and Scenic River. This landscape is heavily shaped by glacial activity, featuring numerous kettle lakes like Bass Lake, Bright Lake, and Perch Lake. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the community of Burkhardt situated along the Willow River, where the terrain drops toward Little Falls Lake. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the Emmanuel Lutheran Church Cem, Hillside Cem, and the historic Pioneer Cem. The presence of the Saint Croix County Waterfowl Production Area and the Beer Airport illustrate the modern mix of conservation land and private infrastructure in this river valley region.
