1901 Map of Clove

About this map

Dover Plains and Pawling anchor this late 19th-century landscape of Eastern Dutchess County, where the iron industry and agriculture shaped the local economy. The terrain is defined by the north-south valleys of the Swamp River and Tenmile River, which guided the paths of vital transport lines like the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad and its Harlem Division. Significant local history is preserved in small hamlets and landmarks like Dover Furnace, Crouses Store, and Wings Station, reflecting a time before modern suburbanization transformed the region.
