2024 Map of Andover

About this map

Andover and its surrounding townships in Henry County are defined by a grid of agricultural section lines and the winding course of the Edwards River. This modern survey illustrates the enduring footprint of nineteenth-century settlement, where small village centers like Orion and Lynn Center remain anchored by historical community sites. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, as it clearly identifies the Andover Township Cem, Orion Lutheran Cem, and the Presbyterian Cem. The landscape is etched by drainage systems including Camp Creek and West Mineral Creek, which dictate the local topography between the straightened county roads. From the settlement at Osco in the northeast to the South Edwards River in the southeast, the map shows a mature rural infrastructure of named roads and established property divisions.
