2015 Map of Avalon

About this map

The Yalobusha River winds through this landscape at the intersection of Carroll, Leflore, and Grenada Counties, defining a region rich in delta bayous and upland creeks. The settlement of Avalon sits near the river's edge, surrounded by a complex network of water bodies including Fletcher Lake and Robinson Bayou Rd. To the north, the community of Parsons and the Minter Lake area illustrate the transition from the river lowlands to the more elevated terrain of the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Local history is anchored by numerous cemeteries that mark the heritage of the area, such as Shiloh Cem, Duncan Cem, and Saint James Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure, from the Potacocowa Creek drainage to the smaller hamlets of Leflore, Whaley, and Valley.
