2020 Map of Somerset

About this map

Somerset and the surrounding river bottomlands define this landscape along the meandering boundary between Tensas Parish, Louisiana, and Warren County, Mississippi. The terrain is characterized by the complex hydrology of the Mississippi River floodplain, where features like Palmyra Bend and the Roundaway-Bayou Vidal Cutoff illustrate the shifting nature of the river channel over time. Small settlements such as Quimby and Afton are connected by a network of local routes including Bear Den Rd and Parish Rd 105. For those tracing local history, the map identifies several scattered burial grounds, including Somerset Cem, Saint John Cem, and Allendale Cem. The presence of the BHLLG Airport near Duck Lake indicates modern land use alongside traditional wetland areas like Grassy Lake and Mud Lake.
