2011 Map of Dover

About this map

Illinois Bayou and its numerous tributaries, including Little Creek and McCoy Creek, define the topography of this Pope County region. The community of Dover serves as a local hub, situated near College Hill and the Jamison Cemetery. The landscape is dotted with ancestral burial grounds such as Stout Cemetery, Goates Cemetery, and Brooks Cemetery, which provide significant points of interest for genealogists and local historians. Economic activity in the early 21st century is represented by the Dover Gas Field and the Scottsville Gas Field, while aviation is marked by the Landers Loop Airport. The transition from the rural settlements of Scottsville and Broomfield toward the rising terrain of Three Knob Mountain in the north reveals a network of ridge roads and valley farms, illustrating the region's enduring rural character.
