How to Use This Andover, New Jersey Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Andover, New Jersey. 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 New Jersey 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 remains a quiet anchor within the rugged landscape of northwestern New Jersey. It lies 5.7 miles northwest of Hopatcong, NJ (from Hopatcong, NJ: bearing 310°T), and is situated 9.3 miles north of Mount Olive. The terrain around Andover reveals the slow, deliberate work of ancient geological forces, marked by quiet woodland and a topography that feels both grounded and expansive. To the west, the Kittatinny Mountains rise as a distant, hazy silhouette against the evening sky, while closer at hand, the surface of Andover Ponds reflects the shifting light of the seasons. The Pequest River winds through the lower elevations just a short distance away, shaping the moisture and character of the nearby soil. During the autumn months, the air takes on a crisp, sharp clarity that highlights the textures of the land, drawing inhabitants toward the outdoors to witness the changing colors of the trees.

Andover carries the weight of a long industrial legacy, defined by the iron mining that once drove the regional economy and left behind scars and stories in the earth. The transition from extraction to a more modern, quiet existence has allowed the pace of life in Andover to settle into a steady, rhythmic pattern. Local industries have evolved over the years, shifting away from heavy mining toward a mix of small-scale commerce and service-oriented work that sustains the local population. Residents often walk the Sussex Branch Trail, a path that serves as a living reminder of the former rail lines that once carried goods and people across this inland territory. The enduring architecture of the older buildings provides a tangible link to a time when the rhythmic clatter of industry defined the daily experience of the people here.

Cultural life in Andover is defined by a sense of neighborly connection and an appreciation for the natural beauty that sits just beyond the doorstep. The Sussex Branch Trail frequently serves as a common ground where people gather to experience the stillness of the woods, far from the frantic energy of more developed regions. While the area maintains a modest, unassuming profile, the presence of the nearby Sparta Glen adds a layer of depth to the local environment, offering a secluded space for reflection. The beauty of the region is perhaps most evident in the way the morning mist clings to the low-lying fields, creating a temporary, ethereal boundary between the land and the sky. Life here favors a slower momentum, where the simple observation of a changing season or the passage of a quiet afternoon becomes a primary pursuit for those who reside in Andover.

About This Andover Map Page

Detailed location data for Andover includes the ZIP code (07821), telephone area code (732, 848), county seat of Sussex County (Newton), and school district assignment (Andover Regional School District).

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.
