1971 Map of Somerville
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The massive Somerville Lake dominates this 1971 revision, a man-made reservoir created by the Somerville Dam across Yegua Creek. This landscape shows the transition from the river-bottom agriculture of the early twentieth century to a recreation-focused economy, evidenced by numerous public areas like Birch Creek State Park and Rocky Creek Park. The town of Somerville remains a significant rail hub, defined by the extensive yards of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and local infrastructure such as Sewage Disposal Ponds.
