Historic Maps of Andover, Massachusetts and Essex County

Andover Room Map Collection The Andover Room has a significant collection of single-sheet historical maps depicting Andover, neighboring Merrimack Valley towns and Essex County dating from the seventeenth century through current times. The collection includes a variety of types of maps including political, zoning, insurance and topographical maps. Researchers interested in understanding the history of geography, the built environment, political districting, open space and other aspects of the history of the Town of Andover will find many useful resources in the library's map collection.   At this time, Memorial Hall Library's Andover Room Map Collection is neither catalogued nor digitized.  A finding aid for access to the library's map collection is linked here.  Researchers may request to use a map from the Andover Room collections in house by inquiring at the Reference Desk.    Andover_Room_Maps_Finding_Aid_Revised_10_2023
