The southern portion of the forest is traversed from west to east by a large highway, being the road from Orange Court-house to Fredericksburg. The old route, or the Old Turnpike, and the new read, called the Plank Road, by following a parallel direction penetrate into the forest after crossing Wilderness Run, the former at the Old Wilderness Tavern, the latter two miles and two-thirds farther south, at Parker's Store; then they draw near again through the forest, and meet upon a barren plateau, where the church of the Wilderness and the inn called Dowdall's Tavern stand; then, plunging into a ravine, the only road ascends the heights of Fairview and crosses a new clearing, where stands a beautiful edifice called Chancellorsville, after the name of its proprietor.
