2022 Map of Dover

About this map

Dover serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, situated near the intersection of SW Douglas Rd and SW 57th St. The area's topography is defined by the branching drainages of the Wakarusa River and its tributaries, including the Middle Br Wakarusa River and Mission Creek. These waterways carve through the terrain, creating features like Gladden Ravine and directing the placement of local thoroughfares. For those researching family history, the map identifies the Dover Cem just south of the settlement and the Saint Bartholomew Cem further south near the river valley. The road network follows a strict grid typical of the region, yet yields to the natural flow of Massasoit Cr and Haskell Cr, reflecting how the environment influenced early development and land use along the Wabaunsee and Shawnee county line.
