1952 Map of Lees Mill Pond

About this map

The border of Prince George and Sussex counties is defined by a dense network of slow-moving water and wetlands, anchored by Lees Mill Pond and Warwick Swamp. This mid-century survey illustrates a landscape of timbered lowlands and agrarian plateaus where small rural hubs like Lees Mill and Templeton served as local anchors. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the coastal plain, with family and place-named features such as Jones Hole Swamp, Joseph Swamp, and Bellches Pond carving through the terrain.
