1950 Map of Dover

About this map

Fort Donelson National Military Park overlooks the Cumberland River at the northern edge of this 1950s survey, marking a landscape defined by Civil War history and mid-century river management. The town of Dover serves as the focal point, situated near Lock D and the National Cem. The topography is a dense network of hollows and ridges, including the prominent Tennessee Ridge and the Tennessee Valley Divide, which dictate the placement of rural settlements like Carlisle and Settle.
