Hi Jim, Thanks for checking it out. Sorry for being dense but does that mean the name of the pond is Zaloziecki (Zaloziecki Pond)? Would the word "Zaloziecki" be a form of the town name Zalozce? If so why the 'iecki' ending? Zaloziechi sounds like a surname. Could it have been named after someone?

Yes it is the Zaloziecki Pond. It is a grammar thing with the names.

Jim's right, that's "staw" in the middle, meaning pond. And the squares represent buildings. Yes, the pond is Zaloziecki Pond, or you could also say Zalozce Pond, it's all the same in English. Zaloziecki is the adjective form of the town name (spelled on the map Zalosce, but also spelled Zalozce). The -ski or -cki ending can turn placenames into adjectives.
