About this map

Andover sits at the southern edge of this high-relief landscape, serving as a gateway to the mountainous interior of Oxford County. The village is anchored by the Andover Post Office and sits near the confluence of the West Branch Ellis River and several smaller tributaries like Stony Brook and Lone Brook. The terrain is defined by significant elevations and drainage gaps, including the notable Sawyer Notch and Black Brook Notch.

Logging and fire roads dominate the remote northern sections, providing access to peaks such as Old Blue Mountain and Hall Mountain. Water features are central to the geography here, from the large expanse of Upper Richardson Lake at the northern boundary to the secluded C Pond and the dramatic cascades at The Cataracts. The network of fire lanes, such as Fire Ln 110A and Fire Ln 320, underscores the managed forest nature of this region in the early 21st century.
