Stop #WF02 – Battle of Wyse Fork
Jackson’s Millpond
As you face the Battlefield Tour Stop sign here, Jackson’s Millpond (now Kelly’s Millpond) was just to your right. To your right and rear, behind the building here, was part of Hoke’s Division. To your left front the earthworks of the Confederates’ main defensive line ran along Southwest Creek to Camp Southwest (Tour Stop #10) and beyond. Hoke’s Division was flanked to the left by Gen. D. H. Hill and Brig. Gen. Laurence Baker’s NC Junior Reserves in Camp Southwest.
