2016 Map of Dover

About this map

Fort Donelson National Battlefield anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, preserving the site of a pivotal Civil War conflict along the banks of Lake Barkley. This 2016 survey captures the area around Dover, the county seat of Stewart County, showing a geography defined by the impounded waters of the Cumberland River. The terrain is deeply dissected by countless hollows, such as Rattlesnake Hollow and Dunaway Hollow, which drain toward the larger valleys of Lick Creek and Long Creek. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including the Fort Donelson National Cemetery, Bear Spring Cemetery, and the Settle Cemetery. Moving south toward Tennessee Ridge, the map illustrates how modern infrastructure like the Sidney C Lewis Highway Bridge and Donelson Parkway interacts with the older, intricate network of ridge roads and valley settlements like Carlisle.
