2010 Map of Clover

About this map

The settlement of Clover and its surrounding rural landscape define this section of Halifax County, Virginia, situated along a prominent bend in the Roanoke River. The map illustrates a region where local industry and transportation networks intersect with a complex system of waterways. Significant features include the Burlington Industries Dam and the riverside community of Public Fork. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Saint Matthews Cemetery northwest of the main town site, while the landscape is heavily articulated by numerous watercourses, including Clover Creek, Ashcake Creek, and Difficult Creek. The presence of Clover Landing on the banks of the Roanoke suggests the enduring importance of the river to the area's development and access. The terrain is further detailed by the convergence of smaller tributaries like Tanyard Branch and Opossum Branch, which feed into the larger river system that dominates the eastern portion of the quadrangle.
