2018 Map of Dover

About this map

Turkey Creek carves a central path through this landscape, which transitions from the industrial and residential outskirts of Plant City in the northeast to the agricultural and suburban grids of Valrico in the southwest. The area is defined by a series of small, historic communities connected by long-standing thoroughfares like Sydney Rd and Hopewell Rd. Settlements such as Dover, Sydney, and Durant appear as established nodes within a landscape of citrus groves, nurseries, and low-lying wetlands. Aviation history is present through both the Plant City Airport and the smaller Lewis Airport to the south. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the extensive marshlands of Williams Swamp, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use in Hillsborough County. Researchers can trace the evolution of local infrastructure through the network of county roads and named corridors like Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd.
