2014 Map of Dover

About this map

The Saint Jones River and Silver Lake anchor the landscape of Delaware’s capital city during a period of significant suburban expansion. The map details a dense network of residential developments stretching north from the city center, including Lakeshore Village, Hammville, and Dupont Manor. These newer communities sit alongside established institutional landmarks such as Wesley Coll and Delaware State Univ. In the northern reaches, the Leipsic River winds toward the town of Leipsic, where the Roby United Methodist Cem marks a long-standing local community. This period reflects the transition of the corridor between Cheswold and the city, where older agricultural features like Snows Neck and Masseys Millpond meet modern infrastructure like the Delaware Airpark. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites documented, from the Amish Cem to the modern grounds of Sunset Memorial Gardens.
