About this map

Dover, the capital of Delaware, is detailed here along the banks of the Saint Jones River and Silver Lake. This modern-day topographic perspective shows the high density of historical and educational institutions that anchor the city, including Delaware State University, Wilmington University Dover Campus, and Delaware Technical and Community College - Terry Campus. The map reveals a deeply established landscape of remembrance, from the Old Presbyterian Cem and Christ Episcopal Church Cem in the city center to the Amish Cem and Slaughter Family Plot Cem located further west near Cahoon Branch.

Surrounding the urban core, residential developments like Bicentennial Village and White Oak Farms mesh with the natural hydrography of the Leipsic River and Puncheon Run. North of the city, the landscape shifts toward agricultural and aviation uses near Cheswold and the Delaware Airpark. The presence of numerous family-named cemeteries and distinct neighborhoods like Bishops Corner and Hammville offers a clear view of how the modern metropolitan area has grown around its traditional rural settlements.
