1956 Map of Dover West

About this map

University of New Hampshire anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the Oyster River meets tidal flats near Durham. Moving north, the map reveals a post-war transition as the Spaulding Turnpike carves through the terrain, connecting Dover with Somersworth. This infrastructure overlays an older network of farm-to-market routes and river crossings, such as Tolend Road and Stage Road. The Cocheco River and Bellamy River dictate the drainage patterns, winding past family-named landmarks like Hayes Hill and Hicks Hill. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including Sanders Cem and St Charles Cem, while the Boston and Maine RR corridors reflect the enduring rail industry that shaped these communities in the mid-20th century.
