1977 Map of Andover

About this map

Andover sits at the base of a heavily forested landscape defined by steep peaks and drainage basins in this late-1970s orthophotoquad. The imagery reveals the distinct textures of Maine’s timberlands, from the dark stands of evergreens to the lighter patches that trace the winding course of Sawyer Brook and Black Brook. To the north, the shoreline of Lower Richardson Lake marks the edge of the wilderness, while Wyman Mountain dominates the central terrain with its high, textured ridges. The valley floor is carved by the West Branch Ellis River, providing a clear view of the relationship between the small village and the surrounding mountain water systems. This photographic survey offers researchers a precise look at land use and vegetation patterns before modern development, capturing the area around C Pond as it appeared decades ago.
