2016 Map of Conner Lake

About this map

The Roanoke River forms the natural boundary between Charlotte and Halifax Counties in this southern Virginia landscape. Historically significant rural communities like Providence and Crossroads anchor the region, connected by a network of local roads such as Mortons Ferry Rd and Coles Ferry Rd, which suggest a heritage of river crossings before modern bridges. Genealogists will find a wealth of records in the numerous burial grounds documented here, including Ellis Creek Cem, Providence Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Hunting Creek Cem. The terrain is defined by the significant reservoir of Conner Lake and the various tributaries that feed the Roanoke watershed, such as Buckskin Cr and Hunting Cr. These small watercourses and family-named roads like Addie Williams Trl and Neals Corner Rd preserve the rural layout of the county's farming history.
