Yes...Grandaddy built the road higher and it became the dam. That made what I call "the Road Pond" and the area behind the "original dam"...sometimes called the Middle Dam now...grow to about 15+ acres. The Road Pond is about 1 acre, the South Pond is about 15 acres. The freakin' Beaver Pond was probably at least 5-17 acres...we are trying to recover some of that land. It has been flooding out some of our land where we have pine trees planted. That's another story.

If you like history, I have found out a lot about the family farm. If I get that dedicated thread started there is a lot to share.
