2024 Map of East Andover

About this map

The Ellis River valley serves as the central corridor for this 2024 survey of Oxford County, where the transition from river bottom to high peaks like Plumbago Mtn and Whitecap Mtn is marked by a series of small riverside settlements. South Andover and East Andover anchor the northern portion of the map, while Rumford Point sits at the southern edge where the Ellis meets the Androscoggin River. For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed in its identification of historical burial sites along the valley floor, including the Upper West Ellis, Lower West Ellis, and East Ellis cemeteries. The transportation network reflects the area's agricultural and timber history, with routes like Covered Bridge Rd and Farmers Hill Rd leading toward upland features like Farmers Hill. Higher elevations are characterized by named peaks and remote waters such as Horseshoe Pond, while the valleys remain defined by established family-named landmarks.
