About this map

Dover serves as the focal point of this Lafayette County landscape, perched on the bluffs overlooking the wide Missouri River bottomlands. The mid-century geography is defined by the relationship between the river’s floodplain and the upland settlements, connected by the Missouri Pacific railroad which follows the southern bank through Dover Station and Hodge. The river valley itself, labeled here as Cherry Valley, is heavily engineered with a network of infrastructure including a levee and several flood gates to protect the agricultural tracts near Miles Point.
