2022 Map of Somerville

About this map

Somerville stands as the primary hub in this corner of the Post Oak Savannah, situated near the north shore of the expansive Somerville Lake. The map details a landscape where water and topography dictate the layout of rural life, from the lowlands of Yegua Creek to the modest elevations of Green Mtn and Shepherd Mtn. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with small family and community burial grounds, including the Mexican Cem, Schoppe Cem, and Flat Prairie Cem, which reflect the area's diverse settlement history. Transportation and recreation are central themes, evidenced by the clustered residential streets of Somerville and the seasonal access points around Welch Park and Birch Creek. To the south, Robbins Lake and Johnsons Mountain Lake further define the local hydrology, while the presence of the Lucky Star Ranch Airport adds a modern aviation element to this traditionally agricultural and leisure-focused Texas landscape.
