About this map

The Grand River and its meandering tributaries, including Medicine Creek and Muddy Cr, define the drainage patterns of this rural Livingston County landscape. The settlement of Avalon serves as a local hub, situated at the intersection of Locust St and Washington St, while the community of Cavendish lies to the northwest. This area exhibits a typical midwestern township and range grid, where many of the rural roads like 304th and 320th follow section lines established during the early land surveys of T57N and T56N.

Local family and community history is preserved in sites such as Burnside Cemetery, Avalon Cemetery, and Arkadelphia Cemetery. The presence of the Corner Campbell School suggests the locations of earlier rural educational districts. The terrain is marked by several small bodies of water, including Custer Lake, Billy Lake, and McKenny Lake, which occupy the low-lying areas near the river's broad floodplains and the surrounding hills drained by Wolf Grove Cr and Campbell Cr.
