About this map

Andover and the historic village of Potter Place serve as central points along the Blackwater River corridor in this 2015 study. The landscape is defined by the significant rise of Mt Kearsarge in the southwest and the Ragged Mountains to the north, providing a clear picture of the narrow valley floor where most settlement and transportation infrastructure is concentrated. Local heritage sites like Keniston Bridge and the Cilleyville Bridge span the local waterways, connecting smaller hamlets like Cilleyville and East Andover.

Water features are abundant throughout the highlands, including the prominent Bradley Lake, Highland Lake, and Elbow Pond. These bodies of water, combined with the Numerous brooks like Frazier Brook and Mountain Brook, illustrate the drainage patterns that have historically influenced the location of mills and roads. The map captures the modern footprint of these New England communities while preserving the locations of family-named landmarks such as Taunton Hill and Lovering Hill.
