2010 Map of Dover

About this map

The town of Dover anchors this coastal plain landscape, where a sophisticated network of drainage and transport routes intersects with an intricate swamp system. The topography is defined by the slow-moving waters of Tracey Swamp, Gum Swamp, and Flat Swamp, which weave through the agricultural and forested tracts. To the south, Sassers Mill sits at the crossing of Beaver Creek and Heath Mill Run, representing a localized point of historical industry and transit. This survey illustrates the modern configuration of rural infrastructure, including Old Us 70 and the various farm-to-market roads like Wyse Fork Rd and Tilghman Rd. The presence of features such as Rattlesnake Branch and Deep Bottom Branch highlights the hydrology of the Neuse River basin, showcasing how the environment has been navigated and managed for farming and settlement into the 21st century.
