2020 Map of Avalon

About this map

Avalon and the surrounding alluvial lowlands sit at the intersection of Carroll, Leflore, and Grenada Counties, where the Yalobusha River meanders through a dense network of bayous and oxbow lakes. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous named water bodies like Oxberry Bayou, Blue Lake, and Musselwhite Lake that speak to the area's history of river migration and drainage. The settlement of Parsons sits to the north near the river's bend, while Leflore and Whaley mark the lower reaches of the map.
