1954 Map of Dover

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Dover serves as the industrial and transportation hub for this northern New Jersey corridor, captured here during a period of significant postwar expansion. The map illustrates a landscape defined by its extractive history and military significance, with the Mount Hope Mine and Richard Mine Sch marking the region's long-standing mining heritage. This industrial character is further emphasized by the sprawling footprints of the U S Military Reservation (Picatinny Arsenal) and the U S Naval Reservation (Lake Denmark), which occupy the valley between Green Pond Mountain and Copperas Mountain.
