How to Use This Andover, Illinois Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Andover, Illinois. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Illinois or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Andover.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Andover reveals itself across a vast expanse of fertile Illinois prairie, where the horizon stretches wide beneath a sky that seems to press heavy and blue against the flat, dark earth. It lies 16.3 miles south-southeast of East Moline, IL (from East Moline, IL: bearing 151°T), and is situated 5.2 miles west of Cambridge. The land around Andover is defined by the steady, rhythmic persistence of seasonal crops and the quiet presence of Lake Park, which serves as a center for the local landscape. Small, intermittent groves of trees mark the path of Camp Creek, a waterway that cuts a thin, silver vein through the fields two miles away. In the distance, the silhouette of Pilot Knob rises fifteen miles off, a faint, jagged interruption in an otherwise unbroken line of grass and soil. Even the light here carries a particular weight, catching the edges of the fields at dusk to turn the dry stalks into a sea of muted gold and copper.

History informs the architecture of Andover, where the legacy of early Scandinavian settlers remains visible in the sturdy, deliberate construction of its buildings. These settlers transformed the wild prairie into a productive agricultural engine, and today the economy continues to mirror the patience of those who first turned the soil. Five miles to the west, Lake Lynnwood provides a reflective stillness to the territory, anchoring the local geography in a way that feels both ancient and essential. Life in Andover proceeds with a measured, deliberate pace, dictated by the turning of the seasons and the demands of the harvest. It is a place where the air smells of turned earth and drying corn, a quiet, grounded reality that exists far from the rush of the coastal world.

About This Andover Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Andover, Illinois. Coordinates: 41.293925, -90.292068. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Andover includes the ZIP code (61233), telephone area code (847, 224), county seat of Henry County (Cambridge), and school district assignment (Orion Community Unit School District 223).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
