1967 Map of Andover

About this map

Andover and Bryant anchor this mid-century portrait of Clinton County's agricultural landscape, where the drainage patterns of the Elk River and its tributaries define the township boundaries. The map illustrates a transitional period in regional infrastructure, notably marking a Railroad Grade that underscores the shifting transport networks of the late 1960s. Education and community life are grounded by landmarks like the Northeast Community High Sch and the Center Grove Cem, while the industrial presence of Goose Lake Quarry and another Quarry near the Elk River signify local resource extraction. Waterways such as Spring Creek, Sixmile Creek, and Little Mill Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural irrigation system that supported the area's rural development. Further south, the settlement of Tenmile and a prominent Radio Tower serve as navigational and communication anchors for the surrounding countryside.
