1961 Map of Dover
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The Tuscarawas River winds through this industrial and agricultural landscape, carving a valley that defines the shared corridor between Dover and New Philadelphia. This 1961 edition reveals a transition from heavy industry to recreational management, featuring the Abandoned Canal alongside modern engineering like the Dover Dam. The map documents a dense network of civic life, from the County Fairground and Crater Stadium to numerous local institutions like St Peters Ch and Union Hospital. To the north, the historic village of Zoar and the Zoar Wildlife Area highlight early conservation efforts within the Muskingum Watershed Conservation District. The presence of several Strip Mines and a Claypit points to the region's enduring extraction economy, while the rail lines of the Norfolk and Western and Conrail facilitate the movement of goods through Valley Junction.
