2024 Map of Somerset

About this map

The alluvial plains along the Louisiana Mississippi border define this landscape, where the meandering path of the river creates distinctive features like Palmyra Bend. Small settlements such as Somerset and Quimby are established along the transport corridors, with the northern edge of the Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge protecting the dense bottomland habitat to the northwest. This environment is shaped by a network of waterways, including Mill Bayou, Negro Bayou, and Grassy Lake, which reflect the historic drainage patterns of the Delta.
