About this map

Dover serves as the focal point for this rural Kansas landscape, where the local Po and Dover Cem mark the center of the community's civic life. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including the winding Wakarusa River in the south and the northern flow of Mission Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates how the area's agricultural heritage persists through a grid of section roads like SW Crawford Rd and SW Carlson Rd, which connect outlying landmarks such as the Highland School and Saint Bartholomew Cem.

The landscape's geological character is highlighted by Gladden Ravine, a notable break in the prairie topography. Several tributaries, such as Massasoit Cr, Lomis Cr, and Haskell Cr, cut through the countryside, influencing the placement of historical homesteads and the modern road network. The survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure between Harveyville Blacktop Rd and SW 41st St, documenting the transition of this part of Shawnee County in the early 21st century.
