About this map

Andover serves as the central hub of this Allegany County landscape, situated at the confluence of several vital waterways including Dyke Creek, East Valley Creek, and Railroad Brook. The village layout is densely detailed, showing street-level orientation along E Chestnut St and E Greenwood St. To the west, the smaller settlement of Elm Valley occupies a stretch of the valley floor near the Cole Dyke Cem.

The surrounding terrain is defined by significant elevations like Jericho Hill and Ben Socker Hill, which overlook a network of rural roads and family-named hollows. For those tracing local history, the map provides precise locations for numerous burial grounds, from the large Hillside Cem north of the village to the Saint Johns Cem and Gate of Heaven Cem situated to the east. These features, along with names like Best Hollow and Shovel Hollow, preserve the local geography as it remains today.
