2022 Map of Avalon

About this map

Avalon and the agricultural lands along the Ellis Co Navarro Co border define this central Texas landscape. The region is heavily marked by small rural burial grounds that serve as vital links for family history researchers, including Hughes Cem near the waters of Fort Lake and Maloney Cem to the north. The terrain is structured by a network of drainage creeks, with Chambers Creek and its many tributaries, such as White Rock Br and Houston Cr, winding through the ranching and farming tracts. The eastern edge of the community of Italy is visible on the western margin, while the settlement of Lone Cedar occupies the southeastern corner. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character of the area, where historical road names like Hughes Cemetary Rd and Old Hwy 34 continue to trace the paths established by early residents.
