About this map

Dover serves as the industrial and residential hub of this Morris County region, shown here during its mid-century development. The map reveals a landscape defined by its complex water systems, from the expansive Lake Hopatcong in the west to the remnants of the Morris Canal winding through Wharton. Significant infrastructure like the New Jersey Central Power and Light Company and several industrial ponds, such as Bowlby Ice Pond and Washington Pond, highlight the era's reliance on local resources. Smaller settlements like Berkshire Valley, Spicertown, and Middletown appear as established communities amidst the varied terrain of the Rockaway and Jefferson townships.
