1968 Map of East Andover

About this map

South Andover and East Andover anchor the valley of the West Br Ellis River in this late-1960s survey of Oxford County. The landscape is defined by the tight relationship between the river's meandering course and the steep elevations of Whitecap Mtn and Plumbago Mountain. This period shows a transition from traditional rural infrastructure, like the Covered Bridge near a Gaging Sta, toward modern additions such as Farrington Airport. For family historians, the map is particularly useful for its density of burial sites, including the Woodlawn Cem, Farmers Hill Cem, and several riverside locations like the Upper West Ellis Cem. Industry is represented by several scattered Quarries and a Gravel Pit near Davis Pond, while the southern edge follows the significant curve of the Androscoggin River at Rumford Point.
