About this map

Dover stands as the primary hub of this 1993 study, showing the city's late-twentieth-century residential expansion and the complex water systems that frame it. The Leipsic River and its branches, including Muddy Branch and Fork Branch, weave through a landscape of evolving suburban developments like Chestnut Grove and Foxhall Meadows. This period captures the city's civic and commercial growth, documented through the presence of the Delaware Airpark, the Blue Hen Mall, and the Dover Downs Intl Speedway.

Tracing the path of the Delaware Railroad northward reveals smaller established communities such as Cheswold and Bishops Corner. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for numerous community landmarks, including Sunset Mem Gdns, Holy Cross Cem, and rural education sites like the Apple Grove Sch. The area south of the Leipsic River is particularly rich with named corners and family-named roads that reflect the region's agricultural roots even as residential footprints increase.
