1947 Map of Dover Plains

About this map

The Tenmile River valley serves as a central corridor for this mid-century landscape, where the New York Central railroad connects industrial and institutional centers. The sprawling grounds of the Harlem Valley State Hospital dominate the southern portion of the valley near Wingdale, while further north, the community of Dover Plains sits tucked between West Mountain and Nellie Hill. A notable local landmark, The Stone Church, is located just west of the main village near Stone Church Brook.
