About this map

The town of Capron serves as a central hub for this corner of Southampton County, situated at the intersection of Main St and Elm Ave. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of wetlands and drainages, including Buckhorn Swamp and Sweat Swamp, which create a complex pattern of timberland and agricultural pockets. In the northwest, small communities like Worrell and Angelico are connected by local routes such as Old Belfield Rd.

Notable landmarks reflect the area's twentieth-century utility and recreation, from the Capron Lookout Tower used for forest surveillance to the Southampton Motor Speedway. Local history is embedded in family-named landmarks and water bodies like McGraphs Pond, Vincent Grove, and Pope. Traces of the rural economy are visible in road names like Garris Mill Rd and Carys Bridge Rd, pointing toward a history of timber milling and river crossings along waterways like Three Cr and Tarrara Cr.
