2011 Map of Dover

About this map

Pipestem Creek and its tributary, Little Pipestem Creek, meander across this section of Wells County, shaping the agricultural layout of the northern Great Plains. The small settlement of Dover sits along the northern reach of the waterways, served by a structured grid of rural roads such as 59th Ave NE and Main St. This survey reflects the enduring rural character of the region in the early 21st century, where land use is dictated by the drainage of these creek systems. Genealogists and local historians will find the Brethren Cemetery situated in the southern portion of the quadrangle, a significant landmark for tracing family roots in this farming community. The map preserves the exact alignment of section-line roads, including 1st St SE and 57th Ave SE, which define the administrative and physical boundaries of the local landscape.
