2010 Map of Dover Plains

About this map

Dover Plains and its neighboring hamlets sit along the north-south corridor of the Tenmile River and Swamp River, forming a distinctive settlement pattern through the valley. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of Chestnut Ridge and Schaghticoke Mountain that flank the river valley, where agricultural and industrial remnants like Dover Furnace remain as markers of the area's development. Local landmarks such as the natural formation known as The Stone Church and the Bulls Bridge Covered Bridge across the Housatonic River anchor the cultural geography of the New York and Connecticut border. Smaller communities like Oniontown, Wingdale, and Webatuck are interspersed with family-named locations such as Bains Corner and Dogtail Corners, while recreational spaces like Camp Siwanoy and the Wiley Shelter occupy the more secluded elevations.
