About this map

Danieltown and its surrounding countryside in Brunswick County appear here during a period of transition, showing the intersection of agricultural life, military training, and rail transport. The northern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the Camp Pickett Military Reservation, where the landscape follows the winding Nottoway River. To the south, the Norfolk and Western railway cuts across the terrain, serving small rural hubs like Warrens Store and Ordsburg.

A network of family-named landmarks and community institutions provides deep genealogical value. Local history is recorded through numerous small burial grounds and places of worship, including the Stainback Cem, White Rock Ch, and Jones Cem. The presence of the Mt Zion Sch and Mt Pleasant Sch reflects the distributed nature of early 20th-century rural education before large-scale consolidation, while the naming of Masons Mill Pond points to the early local water-powered industry that once supported these communities.
