Somerville stands as a rail-focused hub in the early 21st century, dominated by the BNSF Railway corridor that bisects the town. To the west, the massive expanse of Somerville Lake defines the local geography, created by the impoundment of Yegua Cr. The landscape is a mix of sprawling water and low-lying hills, including Shepherd Mtn and the Apache Hls. Small, scattered communities like Rehburg and the riverside settlement of Big Creek are documented, alongside several local burial sites including Schoppe Cem, Oak Lawn Cem, and the Mexican Cem Association Cem. The Presence of a Quarry near Green Mtn indicates ongoing industrial activity, while numerous creeks such as Wolf Cr and Thompson Cr feed into the primary reservoir system.
