2019 Map of Andover

About this map

The village of Andover serves as the central hub of this Allegany County landscape, situated at the confluence of several vital waterways including Dyke Cr and Railroad Brook. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors, with concentrated residential blocks in Andover and the smaller hamlet of Elm Valley to the west. This geography is defined by prominent high points such as Jericho Hill and Tip Top, which rise above the surrounding creek beds and hollows. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies numerous small burial grounds, including the Cole Dyke Cem and Valley Brook Cem. The presence of Andover Pond and Foster Lake highlights the importance of water resources in the upland terrain. The rural character of the area is further evidenced by a dense network of country roads, many named after local families such as Bullard Rd and Lynch-Casey Rd, connecting isolated farms to the river valleys.
