2021 Map of Andover

About this map

Orion and Andover anchor this modern agricultural landscape in Henry County, where a grid of rural avenues and state highways connects long-established farming communities. The southern reaches are defined by the meandering course of the Edwards River and its tributary, S Edwards River, while Mud Cr and Camp Cr drain the northern sections. For genealogists, the map identifies several key burial grounds including the Orion Lutheran Cem, Lynn Center Cem, and the Andover Township Cem located near the town center. Smaller hamlets like Lynn Center and Osco maintain their distinct footprints along the county road network. The landscape remains primarily rural, characterized by the traditional section lines and large tracts of farmland that have defined this part of Illinois for generations.
