About this map

Lees Mill Pond and the surrounding wetlands of Warwick Swamp define this mid-century landscape along the border of Prince George and Sussex counties. The area is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Joseph Swamp, Jones Hole Swamp, and Goose Swamp, which influenced the placement of early rural infrastructure. The crossroads at Templeton serves as a local hub, supporting the Templeton School and nearby congregations like Providence Church.

Further south and east, the map reveals a pattern of scattered community centers such as Lees Mill and Loving Union Church. For those researching local heritage, the presence of specific institutions like Hakks School and Tack Hole School alongside small family plots marked as Cem provides a clear view of the social geography before modern development patterns fully took hold. The map also identifies industrial points of interest including a Sawmill and Gristmill near the central waterways.
