2016 Map of Somerville

About this map

Somerville Lake dominates the central landscape of this 2016 survey, where the waters of Yegua Creek are impounded along the Burleson and Washington county line. The city of Somerville serves as the primary hub, its street grid oriented toward the active BNSF Railway corridor. This rail-dependent layout is contrasted by the burgeoning recreational developments and residential loops like Lakeview Loop and Oak Ridge that line the lake's northern fingers. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the terrain, including Schoppe Cem, Oak Lawn Cem, and the uniquely named Graveyard Crossing Cem. Beyond the water's edge, the topography rises toward Shepherd Mtn and Green Mtn, while small private airfields like the Lucky Star Ranch Airport and numerous named creeks such as Sweet Water Cr and Old Rocky Cr define the rural stretches between settlements.
