About this map

Dover Plains and the surrounding Harlem Valley corridor reveal a landscape of well-established agriculture and early industry at the start of the twentieth century. The Harlem Division of the New York Central serves as a primary north-south artery, connecting settlements like Dover Furnace and Wing's Station to the broader regional economy. The eastern edge of the survey follows the New York Connecticut Boundary Line, where the terrain rises sharply toward Schaghticoke Mt and the Housatonic River.

Evidence of the 19th-century rural economy is preserved in labels like Moores Mill and Crouses Store, alongside topographic landmarks such as Chestnut Ridge and Bald Mt.. Water resources are abundant, ranging from the prominent Whaley Pond in the south to the smaller Clove Spring and Sylvan Lake. High-elevation locales like Quaker Hill and Mizzentop indicate the area's development as a destination for seasonal residents seeking the cooler air of the Dutchess County highlands.
