2024 Map of Dover East

About this map

The Salmon Falls River and the Piscataqua River define this borderland where New Hampshire and Maine meet, charting a landscape of deep-rooted settlements and early New England industry. The towns of Dover, Somersworth, and South Berwick are shown in detail, connected by the Pan Am Railways corridor. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial sites, including the First Settlers Burial Ground near Dover Point and smaller plots like the Shapleigh Family Cem and Emery - Frost Cem. The presence of Leighs Mill Pond and Shapleigh Old Mill Pond suggests a lingering textile and timber heritage along the waterways. From the heights of Garrison Hill to the maritime edges of Pomeroy Cove, the geography reflects centuries of development along the tidal estuaries.
