ShareChurch Reserve 1831
This plan of the Church Reserve at Paterson Plains was drawn by surveyor George Boyle White in 1831.[1]
The plan shows the lockup at Old Banks, the track north (named settler's road) and three large lagoons (Powell's, Whitmore's and Swan's lagoons) which were part of the extensive wetlands complex that included Lake Paterson to the south east.
