2018 Map of Andover

About this map

Goose Lake anchors the northwestern corner of this Clinton County landscape, where the agricultural grid of eastern Iowa is defined by a network of numbered roads like 170th St and 410th Ave. The small settlements of Andover and Bryant serve as local hubs, with the latter featuring the Saint Marys Catholic Cem. This area is characterized by a distinct drainage pattern moving toward the Elk River in the northeast, while the southern reaches are carved by the valleys of Mill Creek and Little Mill Creek. Smaller named locales such as Sixmile and Tenmile reflect the historical distance-based nomenclature of early travel routes. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds including Andover Cem and the more isolated Center Grove Cem, situated between the headwaters of Brophy Creek and the central farming uplands.
