1951 Map of Warfield

About this map

The Nottoway River forms the northern boundary of this Brunswick and Dinwiddie County landscape, separating agricultural lands from the Fort Pickett Military Reservation. The mid-century transportation network is anchored by the Seaboard Coast Line and the Davis Highway, which connect the small settlements of Warfield and Rawlings. This survey, updated with 1980s data, captures a rural community defined by its local institutions, including the Warfield School, Antioch Church, and Lebanon Church. The terrain is intricately dissected by numerous watercourses such as Waqua Creek and Beaver Pond Creek, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that shaped early Virginia settlement and land use. Genealogists will find interest in the proximity of family-centered landmarks like Sturgeonville and several rural schools such as the Gilliam School.
