About this map

The JEB Stuart Monument and the Henry Clay Birthplace anchor the historical landscape of this region north of Richmond, where the rural past of Hanover County meets suburban expansion. The 1963 survey captures a transition period, showing established settlements like Yellow Tavern and Ashland alongside the growing residential developments of Chamberlayne Farms and Woodman Terrace. The Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac RR and Telegraph Road represent long-standing transit corridors that parallel the modern interstate system.

Waterways like the Chickahominy River and Totopotomoy Creek define the drainage patterns across the terrain, while local institutions such as Slash Ch and St Josephs Villa suggest deep-rooted community foundations. The inclusion of the Hanover County Municipal Airport and numerous schools like Randolph Sch illustrates the mid-century infrastructure supporting this part of Virginia during the early 1960s.
