About this map

Fort Pickett Military Reservation dominates the northern landscape of this Brunswick County region, where the Nottoway River forms the natural boundary with Nottoway and Dinwiddie counties. This postwar survey illustrates a rural Virginia economy defined by small crossroads settlements and family-named landmarks. The Norfolk and Western railway cuts across the southern portion of the map, serving as a primary transit corridor for communities like Danieltown and Warrens Store.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural institutions, including the Jonesboro Sch and the Mt Zion Sch, alongside numerous family burial grounds such as Stainback Cem, Elmore Cem, and Bragg Cem. The hydrology of the area is equally detailed, showing the intricate creek systems of Waqua Creek and Sturgeon Creek that eventually feed the larger river system, punctuated by landmarks like Masons Mill Pond.
