2023 Map of Dover

About this map

Dover and the surrounding industrial corridor of Morris County are defined by a landscape of valleys and ridges where iron mining and manufacturing once dominated the local economy. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Picatinny Peak and Mase Mtn, while the Rockaway River and Green Pond Brook carve through the underlying geology. This area transitioned from its deep mining roots into a complex suburban and industrial network, evidenced by the proximity of the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art to established residential centers like Wharton and Rockaway. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented, including the Historic Cem of First Presbyterian Church and Saint Mary's Cem. The map also captures the geographic relationship between recreational water bodies like Lake Hopatcong and the more industrial pockets near Mine Hill and Mount Hope.
