1968 Map of East Andover

About this map

The Ellis River corridor defines the geography of this Oxford County landscape, where the valley floor transitions from agricultural tracts into the steep rising slopes of the Mahoosuc Range. Near the settlement of South Andover, a historic Covered Bridge and Gaging Sta mark the river's crossing, while the nearby Farrington Airport serves the small community of East Andover. This 1968 field-checked survey documents a rural economy rooted in land management, indicated by numerous Quarries and a Quarry near Split Red Hill Brook. Genealogists will find several burial grounds distributed among the family farms, including Farmers Hill Cem and a cluster of three cemeteries—Upper West Ellis Cem, Lower West Ellis Cem, and East Ellis Cem—near the confluence with the Androscoggin River at Rumford Point.
