2019 Map of Dover Plains

About this map

Dover Plains and the surrounding valley of the Tenmile River define this stretch of the New York-Connecticut borderlands. The landscape is marked by a legacy of early industry and family settlement, from the site of Dover Furnace to specialized infrastructure like the Lime Kiln Road Bridge. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed mapping of ancestral resting places, including the Hoag Family Burial Ground, Sheldon Family Burial Ground, and the South Dover Rural Cemetery. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the corridor of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, which winds through the elevations near Wiley Shelter and crosses into Connecticut toward Bulls Bridge. Small hamlets such as Wingdale, Webatuck, and Oniontown are shown alongside the natural features of Tamarack Swamp and Bear Swamp, illustrating the persistent settlement patterns of Dutchess County.
