2012 Map of Dover West

About this map

The University of New Hampshire anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the Oyster River and College Brook meet in Durham. The terrain is defined by a series of drumlins and rises, including Pudding Hill, Beech Hill, and Demeritt Hill, which separate the various watersheds. To the north, the Cocheco River winds through Cocheco toward the industrial corridors of Dover West, passing the County Farm Bridge and the Mallego Plains. This area maintains a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as Durham Cem, Torr Cem, and Dube Cem, many situated near historic farmsteads like Demeritt Hill Farm. The Bellamy Reservoir serves as a major hydrological feature, fed by the Bellamy River and Mallego Brook, illustrating the mid-century water management systems that support the surrounding communities of Madbury and Sawyers.
