About this map

Somerset and the surrounding farmland of Wabash and Grant counties are defined by the winding course of the Mississinewa River. The river's path through this region is marked by significant topographical shifts, most notably at The Hogback, a sharp bend just east of the village. The modern landscape is dominated by the Mississinewa Lake reservoir, which has reshaped the local drainage patterns of smaller tributaries like Tenmile Creek and Goose Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of established landmarks such as the Mississinewa Memorial Cemetery and Murphy Cemetery, providing clues to the area's rural settlement history. To the north, the small community of Treaty sits along the South Meridian Road corridor, where the headwaters of Treaty Creek begin their descent toward the Mississinewa, illustrating the long-standing relationship between the region's agricultural road network and its natural waterways.
