2015 Map of Andover

About this map

Andover and Goose Lake anchor this rural Clinton County landscape, where a dense network of county roads like 160th St and 390th Ave divides the terrain into traditional agricultural sections. The map records several localized communities including Bryant, Tenmile, and Sixmile, the latter two suggesting their distances along early travel corridors. Waterways such as the Elk River in the northeast and the meandering Brophy Creek in the southwest define the low-lying drainage patterns of the area. For those tracing family histories, several burial sites are documented across the township, including Andover Cemetery, Center Grove Cemetery, and Saint Marys Catholic Cemetery near Bryant. The placement of these cemeteries and small settlements reveals the enduring settlement patterns of eastern Iowa in the early 21st century.
