1963 Map of Yellow Tavern

About this map

The JEB Stuart Monument and the Henry Clay Birthplace anchor this landscape north of Richmond, where the transition from rural crossroads to suburban expansion is clearly visible. The historic Yellow Tavern area is depicted during a period of significant growth, with new residential developments like Holly Glen Estates and Chamberlayne Heights rising alongside established rural markers. The Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad and the Chesapeake and Ohio lines define the transportation corridors, while the presence of the Hanover County Municipal Airport reflects mid-century infrastructure modernization. Local landmarks including St Josephs Villa, Heaths Store, and numerous country churches such as Slash Ch and Lebanon Ch provide essential touchpoints for genealogists and local historians tracing the community's evolution in the early 1960s.
