2010 Map of Conner Lake

About this map

The Roanoke River snakes across the northern landscape of this region, joined by a dense network of tributaries including Turnip Creek, Ellis Creek, and Buckskin Creek. This part of Halifax County is defined by its small crossroads settlements and family burial grounds that anchor the local geography. Small communities such as Providence, Crossroads, and Neals Corner are connected by a web of rural roads, while Carrington and Mount Laurel mark the southern reaches of the map. Central to the area is Conner Lake, regulated by Conners Dam and fed by Hunting Creek. For those tracing local heritage, several established burial sites are documented, including the Providence Cemetery, Mount Pleasant Cemetery, and the Huntingcreek Cemetery near the western edge of the quadrangle. The hydrology of the area is complex, with numerous branches like Race Branch and Martins Branch draining into the larger creek systems.
