1984 Map of Andover

About this map

Andover sits at the confluence of several vital waterways in Oxford County, including the West Branch Ellis River and the Ellis River. This 1980s topographical survey documents the convergence of administrative boundaries like Andover North Surplus and C Surplus, illustrating a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and surveyor lines. The terrain is dominated by significant peaks such as Old Blue Mtn and Black Cat Mtn, while the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the high ground, passing the Shelter Hall Mtn Lean-to. Local history is noted through a village Cem and The Cataracts, a distinctive water feature. The map captures a moment when timber and recreation define the area, marked by a Gravel Pit and the remote reaches of Lower Richardson Pond.
