1907 Map of Andover

About this map

The town of Andover serves as a central hub on this eastern Ohio landscape, where the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern RR and the Jefferson Branch converge. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Ashtabula River and the meandering course of Pymatuning Creek, which flows south toward Williamsfield. This era reveals a network of small agricultural settlements and religious centers such as Richmond Center, Cherry Valley, and the Steamburg Church, many of which were linked by historical thoroughfares like the Old Turnpike Road. Across the Ohio Pennsylvania Boundary Line, the map captures the transition into Crawford County, Pennsylvania, showing the early infrastructure of Hemlock Island and Manning Bridge before the landscape was altered by later water management projects. Genealogists will find interest in the precise locations of the South Denmark Church and the original Williamsfield P O.
