GDG- Belle Plain

[Tom Ryan]

<<There's a Belle Plains Rd that run from McCarthy's Corner on White
Oak Rd, NE to the Potomac, but no settlement shown.>>

Thanks, Fred.  Look like it no longer exists as a town, if it did at one
time.  It was probably just an area known by Belle Plain.  According to the
article Bob posted, it once served as a Rebel POW camp in an area known as
the Punch Bowl.  Apparently it received a lot of attention from
photographers in 1864.

My interest has to do with the post-Chancellorsville timeframe, and Lee's
preparation for the Northern invasion in May/June 1863.
