About this map

The town of Wakefield serves as a primary hub in this corner of Sussex County, where the local economy and geography are defined by a complex network of wetlands and agricultural transit corridors. The General Mahone Hwy and General Mahone Blvd bisect the landscape, connecting the smaller settlement of Ivor to the northwest. This 2013 survey illustrates how water dominates the terrain, with extensive drainage systems such as Seacock Swamp, Terrapin Swamp, and Brantley Swamp weaving through the countryside between small crossroads like Saddlers Crossroads and Guildfield Corner.

Infrastructure for the region includes the Wakefield Municipal Airport and water management features like the Parker Number Three Dam. Local history is preserved in the naming of rural points such as Booth Fork and Camp Corner, which remain as distinct markers in a landscape otherwise composed of sprawling swamps and timberlands. For those tracing regional development, the map captures the persistence of these named rural junctions and the vital role of water bodies like Freemans Millpond in the local environment.
