About this map

The Missouri River carves a sweeping arc across this Lafayette County landscape, defining the northern border and shaping the local geography through features like Baltimore Bend and Baltimore Island. On the high ground south of the river, the settlement of Dover sits atop the bluffs, connected to the valley floor via Dover Station. The terrain is deeply dissected by drainage systems including Tabo Creek and Little Tabo Cr, which feed into the main river channel.

Evidence of historical water management and land use is visible in the numerous reservoirs, such as Lafayette County Number E-40 Reservoir and Number 191 Reservoir, scattered across the southern agricultural uplands. Smaller community centers like Page City and Hodge anchor the rural road network, while landmarks such as Dover Bluff and Miles Point highlight the dramatic elevation changes between the river bottomlands and the surrounding prairie.
