Henry Clay Birthplace and the JEB Stuart Monument anchor this historical study of the landscape north of Richmond during a period of suburban expansion. The 1960s terrain is defined by the prominent dual corridors of the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, which cut through established communities like Ashland, Gwathmey, and Yellow Tavern. Local life is recorded through numerous small churches and rural schoolhouses, including Slash Ch, Mt Hermon Ch, and the Elmont Sch. While the southern portion of the map near Chamberlayne Heights shows increasing residential development, the northern reaches maintain a character of creek-side farms and gravel pits along Mechumps Creek and the Chickahominy River.
