2021 Map of Avalon

About this map

Avalon sits at the intersection of State Hwy H and Hwy J, serving as the central hub of this Missouri landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Grand River, which meanders through the northern half of the sheet, joined by tributaries like Medicine Creek and Wolf Grove Cr. These watercourses create a complex drainage pattern that has shaped the local agriculture and road networks, visible in the way Liv 302 and Liv 246 navigate the river's bends. Genealogists will find significant local history at the Avalon Cem, located just south of the settlement, as well as the outlying Burnside Cem and Arkadelphia Cem. The map reveals a transition from the alluvial floodplains of Billy Lake and McKenny Lake to the higher ground marked by ridges and secondary streams like Johnson Cr.
