About this map

The capital city of Dover and its sprawling northern suburbs are detailed in this 2016 survey, showcasing a landscape of education, government, and memory. The area is a hub of higher learning, home to Delaware State Univ, the Wesley Coll campus, and Delaware Technical and Community Coll - Terry. Residential developments like Hickory Dale Acres, Fox Hall, and Bicentennial Village fill the spaces between historic transport corridors like the Korean Veterans Memorial Hwy and the winding Leipsic River.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, from the broad Garrisons Lake in the north to Silver Lake and the Isaac Branch in the south. Genealogists and local historians can find several significant burial grounds, including the Amish Cem, Lakeside Cem, and Whatcoat Cem. Small settlements such as Bethel, Cheswold, and Bishops Corner maintain their identity even as the city grows, while the marshy fringes near Bald Eagle Point mark the transition toward the Delaware Bay coast.
