1971 Map of Somerville
USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
Somerville Lake dominates the central landscape of this 1970s survey, illustrating the transformation of the Yegua Creek basin following the construction of the Somerville Dam. The map documents the extensive recreational infrastructure developed around the reservoir, including Birch Creek State Park, Welch Park, and Big Creek Park. North of the water, the town of Somerville remains a primary hub, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with legacy family sites and rural landmarks. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds such as Schoppe Cem, Williams Cem, and Graveyard Crossing Cem. The map also captures the industrial footprint of the era through scattered oil fields and numerous oil wells north of Rehburg and west of the main town, alongside physical features like Shepherd Mountain and Green Mountain.
