An 85th-minute strike from substitute Richard Walker earned Burton a deserved point and ended Notts County's 100% home record.
The Magpies edged in front with their first effort on target when Karl Hawley raced on to a clever pass by Jamie Clapham and chipped over Artur Krysiak.
Burton equalised when Walker controlled the ball neatly in the box and turned to fire past Kasper Schmeichel.
And Burton's Jacques Maghoma almost won it but his late effort hit the post.
Notts County manager Ian McParland told BBC Radio Nottingham:
"It was a game of two halves and a local derby. We did OK in the first half but not as well as I wanted to do, but overall we've had most of the game.
"I think they had one shot in the second half and the scored a goal, it was bad defending again."
Burton Albion manager Paul Peschisolido told BBC Radio Derby:
"We matched them in the first half. We played extremely well and defensively we were strong
"We also had two fantastic opportunities and if you go on opportunities we probably had more.
"It was a great goal by Richard Walker and we could have won it in the end."

Burton Albion striker Richard Walker told BBC Radio Derby:
"I haven't been getting into the starting 11 recently, but it's nice to get a goal and hopefully there'll be more to come.
"It's up to us to get ourselves back in the team and that's what I'm hopefully going to do."
